# from your local machine:
scp user@VPS_IP:~/screen-install-output.txt ./ethstorage-ceremony-guide/screenshots/

# (optional) take a screenshot of your terminal window on your local PC and save as:
# ./ethstorage-ceremony-guide/screenshots/screen-install.png

git add screenshots/screen-install-output.txt screenshots/screen-install.png
