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:

  1. 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.
  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
  1. Compare certUtil hash with SourceForge file information, if both of them match then you are ready to proceed.

Verification from any Linux distro:

  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
  1. Compare if SourceForge MD5 hash matches with md5sum
