The initial instructions posted along with the SHASUM files didn't work, and I've gone through and tried the SHASUM steps in this thread and I can't make any of it work. I didn't even know this thread existed, so I was basically approaching this at the same level as my friend who's never run any distro before. I have a Mac running 10.13.6, and so I decided to try going through the process. As this is something I've never bothered to do myself, when he started having problems and called me, I had to try and figure something out. I'm not sure if there's really a point to this, but a friend of mine has decided to try LinuxMint by way of first doggedly verifying the ISO he's downloaded. Import the Linux Mint signing key with this gpg2 command:.In the Terminal app (~/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) - re-open it if you have already closed it.Replace the gpg command with gpg2 in the " Authenticity Check" instructions listed on either the Linux Mint Installation Guide or at (It is probably a good idea to perform an Integrity Check (by adapting the above instructions) on this download, before installing it.) You will need to download and install " GnuPG for OS X" from.(The xx.x is where the version number was.) In the above example, I had only downloaded the Cinnamon 64-bit ISO and the XFCE 64-bit ISO, so as the results show "OK" for those two, the check was a success. Shasum: WARNING: 4 listed files could not be read Type the shasum command with the appropriate flags, followed by the absolute path to the sha256sum.txt file (which you don't have to manually type - just drag and drop the file from a Finder window in to the Terminal window at the cursor)Ĭode: Select all shasum: :.Change directory to the folder in to which you downloaded the ISO images and sha256sum.txt and filesĬd ~/Downloads/ISO (and press Return/Enter).Open the Terminal app (~/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app).~/Downloads/ISO )Īlso that you have downloaded the sha256sum.txt file and the file (from ) for the same version number of Linux Mint as the ISO image(s) you have downloaded - and put these files in to the same folder as the ISO images. This assumes you have downloaded one or more of the ISO images (and haven't changed their file names), and put them in to the same folder as each other (e.g. This is also reflected in the procedure at which is currently more up-to-date but less detailed than the Linux Mint Installation Guide. When you get down to the " Integrity Check" - "Hint" section, there is currently no tutorial linked for macOS (only one for Windows). If you're at this stage of the Linux Mint Installation Guide, and like me, you use macOS not Windows, hopefully this will help.
