how to verify sha256 checksum?
This comment was split from the discussion: Will not work on macOSX Sierra
Not sure how to verify a "SHA256" checksum.. Can anyone help?
I understood how to verify the SHA1 checksum for the previous
"GPG Suite 2016.10" file, by following the instructions on the
GPGTools Support site at:
https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/how-to/how-to-verify-the-download...
I just used the "shasum" command on Terminal and compared the SHA1
checksums. But how do I do this with a "SHA256" checksum?
Thank you very much for any help!
