# Signing an Existing Manifest File
If you're a developer of `lnd` and are interested in attaching your signature
to the final release archive, the manifest MUST be signed in a manner that
allows your signature to be verified by our verify script
`scripts/verify-install.sh`.
Assuming you've done a local build for _all_ release targets, then you should
have a file called `manifest-TAG.txt` where `TAG` is the actual release tag
description being signed. The release script expects a particular file name for
each included signature, so we'll need to modify the name of our output
signature during signing.
Assuming `USERNAME` is your current nick as a developer, then the following
command will generate a proper signature:
```
gpg --detach-sig --output manifest-USERNAME-TAG-txt.asc --clear-sign manifest-TAG.txt
```
