Verifying a Downloaded Offline Software Package​

When downloading a large file over the internet, file corruption may occur if the download is interrupted. To ensure the downloaded offline software package is valid, use the md5sum provided to verify the downloaded offline software file. An md5sum is a hash value that acts as a unique "fingerprint" of the file. To ensure that a file has not been altered or corrupted during transfer, storage, or download compare the files md5sum value to the provided expected value.

To verify the downloaded file:

  1. Extract the md5sum of the downloaded file.
Check md5sum in Linux OS
md5sum offline_aviti.zip
Check md5sum in Windows OS
certutil -hashfile offline_aviti.zip MD5
  1. Compare the value to the md5sum onscreen.

    If the value is not the same as displayed onscreen, re-download the file.
