Checksum Verification
All packages include SHA256 checksums. Download both files and verify:
Linux (Ubuntu/CentOS/OpenSUSE/SLES):
sha256sum -c .sha256
macOS:
shasum -a 256 -c .sha256
Windows:
$expectedHash = (Get-Content ".sha256").Split()[0]
$actualHash = (Get-FileHash "" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expectedHash -eq $actualHash) { Write-Host "Checksum verified!" } else { Write-Host "Checksum mismatch!" }
FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD:
sha256 -C .sha256
Alpine Linux:
sha256sum -c .sha256
