Use the ssh-keygen command on a computer to which you’ve downloaded your private key .pem file; for example:
First, ensure permissions will allow ssh-keygen to work:
chmod 600 /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem
Then generate an RSA public key:
ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem > your-key-pair.pub
