If you have .pem file then jump to step 3, else you need to convert ppk to pem follow all steps as below:
Step 1: Install putty tools on Debian ubuntu
Open Terminal in your computer, and install putty, as it is needed to convert ppk to pem in step 2.
sudo apt-get install putty-tools
Step 2: Convert ppk to pem using putty
Now, once you have successfully installed putty on your ubuntu local system, let’s convert ppk file to pem by using below cmd:

Here micro_key.pem is the file that got generated successfully.
Step 3: change permission of pem file
You need to change the permission of the file to 400, means “user” with read only permission (4) and “group” & “other” with no permission (0). to use pem file.
change file access permission by below command:
