{% tab title="Veriftied by 3rd party tools" %}

1. Use the adb/command line tool on your PC or Terminal on Mac to run the following command:

Windows PowerShell/Command Prompt: certutil -hashfile file\_path/file\_name SHA256

MacOS Terminal: shasum -a 256 /file\_path/file\_name

Linux: sha256sum /file\_path/file\_name

2. Check whether the obtained SHA256 matches the SHA256 checksum displayed on our official website.
