In the future, if it's possible, please send the text of such a
screenshot as text. it makes it easier to index, to search, and to
reply to.
I think you're talking about this part of the FAQ:
https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#automated_use
It looks to me like you might not have followed step 4:
Copy secring.auto and the public keyring to a test directory.
but i confess i also don't really understand this entry in the FAQ. it
looks overly complicated to me, and seems to expect there to be a
"secret keyring", which is decidedly not the case for any modern version
of GnuPG. (modern GnuPG stores its long-term secrets in
~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ )
Perhaps if you could explain more about what you're trying to do,
someone here could point you to documentation that suits your goals
better?
all the best,
