Verify checksums
Verify a downloaded FileLever release file with checksums before you install it, especially before opening a new desktop build.
Browse all guidesimport { currentAppRelease } from “@data/releases”;
Overview
Checksums help confirm that a downloaded release asset matches the published build on GitHub Releases. FileLever publishes release notes and checksum references on the same public release page.
When to verify
- after downloading a release asset
- if the download was interrupted
- before sharing a build with someone else
- when you want to confirm file integrity
How to verify
- Windows: use PowerShell
Get-FileHash - macOS: use
shasum -a 256 - Linux: use
sha256sum
What to compare
Match the calculated SHA256 against the value published with the release notes or release asset listing.
Where to verify FileLever builds
- Current release: FileLever {currentAppRelease.versionTag}
- Release source: GitHub Releases
- macOS trust status: code signed and notarized
- Compare your local SHA256 against the checksum value published with that release
