How Do I Check the MD5 Checksum of My Download?

Answer:

For our downloads, MD5 checksums are provided for zip and tar.gz archives. This allows easy verification of your download for correctness.

Windows

  1. Open a cmd window.
  2. Type CertUtil -hashfile {Archive\Path}.zip MD5. You will then receive the MD5 checksum for the file {Archive\Path}.zip. The checksum must match the checksum specified on the web page.

Example: CertUtil -hashfile installer-pdfmapper-v1.zip MD5 provides the output:
MD5-Hash von installer-pdfmapper-v1.zip:
c9e77210d0ca7edc1095c5dac91bb6e4
CertUtil: -hashfile-Command was executed successfully.

Linux

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Type in md5sum {tar/Archive/Path}.tar.gz. You will then receive the MD5 checksum for the file {tar/Archive/Path}.tar.gz. The checksum must match the checksum specified on the web page.

Example: md5sum installer-pdfmapper-linux-v1.2.tar.gz provides the output:
5c32f761c2649115f3ae176ae81465fb installer-pdfmapper-linux-v1.2.tar.gz
