NeoOffice.org provides MD5 checksums for NeoOffice.
If you wish to verify the checksum, perform the following steps:
- Open the /Applications/Utilites/Terminal application
- Execute the following command in the Terminal window:
md5 /absolute/path/to/a/file
- You can compose the above command by typing
md5
followed by a space, and then drag the.dmg
file from the Desktop to the Terminal window; this will automatically insert the full path to the file.
- You can compose the above command by typing
- Visually compare the output of the command to the MD5 checksum listed for the same file on the NeoWiki page
As an alternative, you can also use a GUI application like Checksum or MD5 to determine the checksum of a file instead of using the Terminal commands.
