Using md5 Files to Validate the Downloaded Executable Files

The md5 files are generated for each executable file.

Use the md5 files to validate that the executable file was not changed after the md5 file was generated. 

  1. Download the executable file (.jar, .exe) and its md5 file to the same directory.

  2. Run a command to perform the validation.

Command use:

  • Windows

    certutil -hashfile <filename>.exe <filename>.md5

    The value returned by the command should match the value in the .md5 file. Use a text editor to open the .md5 file. 

  • Linux

    md5sum <filename>.jar

    The value returned by the command should match the value in the .md5 file. Use a text editor to open the .md5 file.
