Check that your download is genuine
Section titled “Check that your download is genuine”Every release lists a SHA256SUMS file. Compare the checksum of your download with the line for that file.
On Windows (PowerShell):
Get-FileHash .\Gencraft_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256On macOS and Linux:
shasum -a 256 Gencraft_x.y.z_universal.dmgThe two values must be identical. Updates inside the app are signed, and the app refuses an update whose signature does not match the key it carries.
Updates
