Ssh Key Setup Issue with Id_Rsa*

I am trying to set up my ssh key and I get this error. 

$ rm id_rsa*

rm: id_rsa*: No such file or directory


$ cp id_rsa* key_backup

cp: id_rsa*: No such file or directory

Is this a major problem, or can I skip ahead?

Are you in the .ssh directory? Try sudo ls ~/.ssh to see if you have the keys in there
