Verifying the Checksum (Optional but recommended)

Verifying the checksum ensures that the downloaded file is intact, unaltered, and free of corruption or tampering, confirming both its authenticity and integrity for safe and accurate usage.

On Mac/Linux:

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the binary.

  3. Use the shasum command to generate a checksum:

    shasum -a 256 [downloaded_file_name]

  4. Compare the output with the provided SHA256 checksum displayed on the download page. They should match.

On Windows:

  1. Open PowerShell.

  2. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the binary.

  3. Use the Get-FileHash command to generate a checksum:

    Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 [downloaded_file_name]

  4. Compare the output with the provided SHA256 checksum displayed on the download page. They should match.

By verifying the checksum, you ensure the integrity and authenticity of the downloaded binary.
