How to check file hash
When you download ioPay Desktop from Github, you may want to check the file hash before using it.
In each release, there is a file called latest-xxx.yml. For example
version: 0.10.0
files:
- url: ioPay-0.10.0-mac.zip
sha512: qu+kDkAxpJpGWGv3nQNItEtQ8darJFpdYQk5gfaeTUgSC0L42BFZs3J5rokUYDA/EcfxqiYkjP9jI7/rUZKaeA==
size: 75588074
blockMapSize: 80132
- url: ioPay-0.10.0.dmg
sha512: NZawHKdr3Z8W7p68dbf0iQtAPidK1iexg36A/52K3Gkky8K9+0zioa/DAvfJnTRKW7UkF/oqZgauCY1igIRGhg==
size: 78538689
path: ioPay-0.10.0-mac.zip
sha512: qu+kDkAxpJpGWGv3nQNItEtQ8darJFpdYQk5gfaeTUgSC0L42BFZs3J5rokUYDA/EcfxqiYkjP9jI7/rUZKaeA==
releaseDate: '2020-06-14T01:35:49.891Z'
The sha512
is the hash of the installer file. It is base64 encoded. You can check and compare using this command
shasum -a 512 path.to.file | xxd -r -p | base64
I have put it into this wiki for further reference.
Enjoy!
