Log gist:
2020/06/17 08:25:17 ...user/setting/keys.go:96:KeysPost() [E] AddPublicKey: calcFingerprintSSHKeygen: 'ssh-keygen -lf C:\Windows\TEMP\gitea_keytest389891466' failed with error 'exec: "ssh-keygen": executable file not found in %PATH%':

Description

Fresh install, while adding ssh public key, it is throwing 500 error code. Checked the logs, it shows above message in the log.

Restarted the entire server once to make sure PATH is updated.

before and after restarting the server, I tried ssh-kengen on server, it is executing the binary ok. For some reason Gitea is not finding it right. Any help appreciated!

@lafriks thanks! that fixed it.

I had to add the path under System PATH, it was in User's path. And restarted the Windows service. Thanks for the quick response.
