How to verify downloaded files with MD5 file?
 
There is a MD5 file with the downloaded file and it intends to be verify the integration of the downloaded file. So could you guys tell me how to do it please?

Thanks a lot.

It's easy. Open up the console and then type

md5 sum location of the file

For example: md5 sum /home/lala/files/file.img

Then it will compute and display the result. Comapre it with what the file says. That's it.
