Downloads Information

CachyOS can be installed using two types of installations: a GUI Installer and a CLI Installer.

Validation

WARNING

Always take an extra step and verify the ISO’s integrity to avoid any undesired issues at installation or while creating a bootable media.

Here is how you can do it:

If you’re currently on Windows:

1. If you downloaded the iso via SourceForge at the right of each file there is an exclamation point that contains both a SHA1 and a MD5.
2. Open CMD or PowerShell as Administrator and navigate to the path where the ISO is stored.
3. Type the following command: certUtil -hashfile full_iso_name.iso MD5

e.g:

certUtil -hashfile cachyos-kde-linux-230813.iso MD5

4. Compare certUtil hash with SourceForge file information, if they both match then you are ready to proceed.

Verification from any Linux distribution:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the path where the ISO is stored
2. Type the following command: md5sum full_iso_name.iso

e.g:

md5sum cachyos-kde-linux-230319.iso

3. Compare if the SourceForge MD5 hash matches with the md5sum
