#### Application to calculate and verify SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksums.

This application will calculate SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksums of your file.
Then verify those checksums with checksums stored at <https://checksums.app>.

<https://checksums.app> contains a collection of sha256 and sha512 for popular software applications.
Please send me an email, if checksums for software that you want to verify is not available.

**Your files will not be uploaded to server.**
Only SHA-256, SHA-512 and file name of selected file will be sent to <https://checksums.app> for verification.

Please email me if you encounter any issues, while using this application.

**Bug Fixes and Features in v1.1.1.0**

1. Fixed. Displayed result was wrong when SHA 512 matched and SHA 256 did not match and vice-versa.
   For example if SHA 512 matched and SHA 256 did not match, this application will say SHA 512 matched.
   But does not say SHA 256 did not match.
2. Fixed. Did not verify files, when file name had characters such as +, which are URL encoded.
3. Fixed. Ubuntu secret store was not unlocked when Ubuntu logged in user had auto login enabled.
   This impacted only users who needed to log in to checksums.app to verify there private files.
   It is not necessary to log in to verify public file checksums, available at checksums.app.
4. Added a Contact Us form.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Checksums App

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/checksums-app/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
