Permission denied (publickey).

Answer 1

If you have already generated the key, and it has a default name, the problem might be in the absent environment variable.

On Windows 7 right click "My computer" and go to properties. There click on advanced properties and click the button Environment Variables. There add a user environment variable

Name: HOME 
Value: %USERPROFILE%
