Just spun up a Ubuntu 14, NIGINX droplet and got the non-root user created, and everything for WordPress is installed and working.
Tried adding a new theme and it asks for the Hostname (IP address at this point) FTP/SSH Username/Password (my non-root info) but then it asks for my Authentication Keys on the server, public and private…where would they be again? Or is my issue a file path permission issue? I am able to edit and create posts and pages but hit the same wall when attempting to install a plugin.
I used these articles to get here:

Did some looking around and thought someone was having a similar issue so I tried some of their solutions with little luck:
I am kinda new, so its entirely possible that I am missing an easy initial step.
