Where can I find Checksum for Splunk Downloads?

Hi all,

I did a search and found an answer but it is from 2013 and does not appear to be relevant any longer. Where can I find the checksum's for the downloads? In my case, I'm looking for the checksum for the splunk-6.5.2-67571ef4b87d-Linux-x86_64.gz file.

Thanks!
Andrew

Documenting for the next person. It's on the download page after select download. I glazed over when I originally downloaded the file.

To offer a more precise answer to this question for anyone referencing it in the future.

First, download the Splunk package to your local system. Next, open the command prompt, PowerShell, or any terminal you prefer. Use the 'cd' command to navigate to the directory where the Splunk package is located.

After reaching the correct directory, execute the following command:

cd .\Downloads\

For Linux and macOS:
sha256sum splunk*.tgz

 

For Windows (PowerShell):
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 splunk*.tgz

 

Thanks,
