Why it matters
Wallet applications are a natural target for tampered distribution. A checksum comparison is cheap, works offline and needs no extra tooling on any of the three desktop platforms.
SHA-256 turns a file into a fixed-length fingerprint. Change a single byte and the fingerprint changes completely. If the value you calculate locally matches the release value, the file is intact.
A checksum shows that the file matches its release value. A signature additionally ties the file to the key that produced it. The release details include signer information and operating-system code signing or notarization status where applicable.
Replace <file> with the installer you downloaded, then compare the result with the release checksum above.
