It is usually applied to an installation file after it is received from the download server. So if you know the checksum of an original file, you can use it to check whether your copy of the file is identical or not.</p> <p>To verify the checksum on your Mac first you need to open Terminal app. The Terminal app is in the Utilities folder in Applications.
