Verify Cheksum/integrity of installation files

Help
1

There needs to be a way to verify the integrity of the downloaded installation files, maybe the signature is signed on the Windows version but there doesn’t seem to be a way to verify the integrity on Linux. There have been multiple inquires about this on this forum and also on other areas of the web, that have yet to be answered. If there is a way to do this, please let us know! Until then, I and many many others will be unable to safely use Obsidian.

What I’m trying to do

Verify the integrity of the installation files, of the .deb, Appimage.

Things I have tried

Searched, asked around, lamented, waited and now posted.

Hi @TechStation , fellow user here.

Since you mention .deb and AppImage, I’m guessing you’re a Linux user. The Linux links on the Obsidian download page point to the releases page on the GitHub repo that hosts the downloads:

Each of the downloads from that page have an accompanying SHA256 string that can be used to verify the download. I just tested the 1.9.12 AppImage downlaod with sha256sum and got the same hash as was on the website.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. The hashes match for me as well. This is exactly what I needed. I’m embarrassed that I missed the listed hash from GitHub.
