How to add an ssh key from other computer to my Ubuntu server

Question

how can I add an SSH-key generated from a computer of a friend to my server?

Currently I don't have access to his computer he just sent me his SSH key.

Easiest method is ssh-copy-id from the duplicate – Panther Feb 22 '18 at 15:26 — Panther, Feb 22 '18 at 15:26

You just have to append the key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file in your server

ssh-copy-id is easier and more automated =) – Panther Feb 22 '18 at 15:27
@Panther yes but "Currently I don't have access to his computer he just sent me his SSH key." – Félicien Feb 22 '18 at 15:29
