here are examples of how to obtain the SHA256 checksum of a file in different operating systems:
Linux/Unix
In Linux/Unix-based systems, you can use the sha256sum
command to generate the SHA256 checksum of a file.
To generate the SHA256 checksum of a file in Linux/Unix, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where the file is located. Then run the following command:
bash
sha256sum filename
filename
with the name of the file you want to generate the checksum for.macOS
On macOS, you can also use the shasum
command to generate the SHA256 checksum of a file.
To generate the SHA256 checksum of a file in macOS, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where the file is located. Then run the following command:
shasum -a 256 filename
filename
with the name of the file you want to generate the checksum for.Windows
In Windows, you can use the CertUtil
command to generate the SHA256 checksum of a file.
To generate the SHA256 checksum of a file in Windows, open a Command Prompt window and navigate to the directory where the file is located. Then run the following command:
CertUtil -hashfile filename SHA256
filename
with the name of the file you want to generate the checksum for.
