Hello, II've finally decided to infall Fedora on my MacBookPro. However, I can't get past the download validation.

When i run shasum -a 256 -c Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM

I get the following message:

shasum: Fedora-Workstation-22-x86_64-CHECKSUM: no properly formatted SHA1 checksum lines found

What could I be doing wrong? It seems weird that it warns about SHA1 checksums, when I'm using shasum -a 256 Are there alternative methods to verify the download?

Thanks for your help!

The format of the *-CHECKSUM file is not recognized by shasum in Mac OS X. See my answer here for more details.

Why are you checking the CHECKSUM?, your supposed to check the iso!

$ shasum Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Alpha-1.iso

From man sha256sum:

-c, --check read SHA256 sums from the FILEs and check them

The syntax used by the OP is correct.

How did this not get downvoted. The answer is insulting and the OP, as @randomuser points out, is correct (I don't have the rep, or I'd vote it down, even 2 years later).
