That is a good question: why are you making it so complicated? :face_with_monocle:

  • Download the ISO and the checksum file to the same directory. Any directory is fine.
  • Open a terminal in that directory.
  • Run sha512sum -c against the checksum file; check for “OK” in the output.
~/Downloads/temp 
❯ eza -1
EndeavourOS_Mercury-Neo-2025.03.19.iso
EndeavourOS_Mercury-Neo-2025.03.19.iso.sha512sum

~/Downloads/temp 
❯ sha512sum -c EndeavourOS_Mercury-Neo-2025.03.19.iso.sha512sum 
EndeavourOS_Mercury-Neo-2025.03.19.iso: OK

That’s it! It looks like you are adding some unnecessary steps.

Gee, thanks! You taught me something new! So I apologize and take my comment back…

I actually didn’t know about this, and it’s really useful. Only unfortunate that bash doesn’t tab-expand after -c anymore. (Hint: Expand before, then insert the -c.)

EDIT: Also added .sha512 and .sha256 files to my Ventoy ISO folder now, since Ventoy can verify these by just hitting m on any ISO menu entry. Cool.
