How to use md5
How do I use md5 to check a downloaded file?
|
$ md5sum <filename>
Compare the output to the hash provided by the site you are downloading from. |
thanks!
|
sorry, do I do it on the .tar.gz/tar.bz2 file or one after I unzip it?
|
Do it on the *.tar.gz file. That will give you the checksum of the download. Then, compare it to the checksum listed in the site. If they match, the download was good. If they don't, redownload it.
