Upon downloading Trisquel you should find an MD5 and GPG link. Download the md5 file by:
- right-clicking the *.md5 file,
- clicking Save Link As (or similar, depending on what web browser you're using), and
- saving the file in the same folder that you saved the ISO or torrent file.
GNU/Linux users
Open your Terminal program and cd to the directory that you downloaded the files to. For example, if you downloaded the files to your Downloads directory then type:
cd Downloads
md5sum -c trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso.md5
You need to replace trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso.md5 with the name of the *.md5 file that you downloaded, depending on what edition you selected.
If all went well then you should receive the following output:
trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso: OK
Congratulations! You can now proceed to install Trisquel.
