It was only a comment.
So perhaps making the assumption explicit in step #1's background would be a benefit to future readers.
Something simple, like:
"This example assumes this is the first use of a public key pair on your system and uses the default key pair name.
It that is not your case, pick a distinctive name for this key pair."

Why?
This site has a much larger readership than membership.
When the non-members find (what they think is the complete) answer to the question they have in mind at the moment, they go away.
I.E: they aren't usually checking all of the context and discussion of something they find posted - just using it, hoping its complete.

Don't be concerned about posting on a subject that may have been posted on before -
If you didn't find the other post, someone else didn't find it either.
Check the post number in the url of your browser -
It is over 3-1/4 million
- - that is too much 'context' for anyone to read.
