I can not generate the RSA key for Github: "Too many arguments"

I can not get through this phase of the installation. Can anyone help me?

It's probably a detail in the command.

Instead of using -c (lower case letter C) use -C (uppercase letter C). Also correct the command and leave the e-mail in quotes. The final command should look like this : 

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
