Verify the integrity¶

Open your terminal and type the command below:

(Get-FileHash '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe').Hash.ToLower() -eq (Get-Content '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe.sha256.txt').split(" ")[0]

The result in prompt should be True.

Alternatively, you can check more closely in two steps:

Compute the binary sha256sum hash:

# Option 1: Compute in default way
Get-FileHash '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe'

# Option 2: Compute and filter the necessary information
(Get-FileHash '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe').Hash

# Option 3: Compute, filter and process the Hash for lowercase letters
(Get-FileHash '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe').Hash.ToLower()

Compare with provided hash:

# Option 1: Get content 
Get-Content '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe.sha256.txt'

# Option 2: Get content and filter the necessary information
(Get-Content '.\krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe.sha256.txt').split(" ")[0]

Verify the authenticity¶

You'll need have GPG installed;
We recommend installing GPG4Win.

The first step is import the developer's key:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys B4281DDDFBBD207BFA4113138974C90299326322

Then, to verify yourself, run this command on your terminal:

gpg --verify ./krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe.sig

⚠️ TIP: If the verification was successful, you may get a message similar to: Good signature from "qlrddev <qlrddev@gmail.com>"

Install¶

Execute the krux-installer_v0.0.20-beta.Setup.exe. You'll be faced with a blue window saying "Windows protected your PC". This occurs because we don't have a code signing certificate:

Windows protected your computer

🛡️ TIP: If you followed the steps presented in authenticity section, you already have the assurance that the software is from a verified and genuine software publisher. This will also help establish a chain of trust when you perform the firmware verification step before flashing.

Follow the installer's instructions to complete the installation. At the end, click on "Create desktop icon":

After install¶

Once installed, you can proceed to firmware installation.
