First, download the executable file for the desktop application and place it in a folder.

You can use this tool to verify the SHA256 checksum of the file. Alternatively you can manually verify the checksum using a terminal command.

Manually verifying the checksums differs depending on the operating system you use.

To hash the executable file on Linux, run the following command in a terminal:

Make sure to replace the filename (Safe-Multisig-APPVERSION.AppImage) with the actual filename of the file you downloaded. You should see the hash. Open the safe-global react Github repository and check if the hash matches with the one displayed for the this particular release.

To hash the executable file on MacOS, run the following command in a terminal:

Make sure to replace the filename (Safe-Multisig-APPVERSION.dmg) with the actual filename of the file you downloaded. You should see the hash. Open the safe-global react Github repository and check if the hash matches with the one displayed for the this particular release.

To hash the executable file on Windows, run the following command in PowerShell:

Make sure to replace the filename (Safe-Multisig-Setup-APPVERSION.exe) with the actual filename of the file you downloaded. You should see "SHA256 hash of Safe-Multisig-Setup-APPVERSION.exe:" with the hash below. Open the safe-global react Github repository and check if the hash matches with the one displayed for the this particular release.
