Check that an installer or archive you downloaded is byte-for-byte what the publisher released. Pick a file, get its SHA-256 (or SHA-1, SHA-384, SHA-512) digest, and paste the published checksum to compare — case and spacing are ignored. The file is read inside your browser, which is the whole point: uploading it to a third party to verify it would defeat the exercise.
