Downloads Information
CachyOS can be installed using two types of installers: GUI Installer and CLI Installer.
Validation
Here is how you can do it:
If you’re currently on Windows:
- If you downloaded the iso via SourceForge at the right of each file there is a exclamation point and it contains both SHA1 and MD5.
- Open CMD or PowerShell as Administrator and navigate to the path where the ISO is stored.
- Type the following command: certUtil -hashfile full_iso_name.iso MD5
e.g:
certUtil -hashfile cachyos-kde-linux-230813.iso MD5
- Compare certUtil hash with SourceForge file information, if both of them match then you are ready to proceed.
Verification from any Linux distro:
- Open a terminal and navigate to the path where the ISO is stored
- Type the following command:
md5sum full_iso_name.iso
e.g:
md5sum cachyos-kde-linux-230319.iso
- Compare if SourceForge MD5 hash matches with md5sum
