# Verify Monero Binaries
Verification must be carried on **before extracting the archive and before using Monero**.
Instructions are for Linux but should also work on macOS with cosmetic modifications.

If key with this fingerprint was not found then remove imported key immediately (gpg --delete-keys ...).
That would mean the key changed (likely was compromised).
## 1. Verify signature of hash list
The list of binaries and their hashes is published on [getmonero.org](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt) and a few other places like release notes on [r/monero](https://reddit.com/r/monero).

By this step we checked that published hashes were not tampered with.
The last step is to compare published hash with hash of downloaded archive.
The last step is to compare published hash with downloaded archive SHA-256 hash.
Replace file name with yours:

# Grep must print the hash (output cannot be empty)
grep $file_hash /tmp/reference-hashes.txt
If grep displayed a line containing your binary name and a hash then all is fine!

If the grep output is empty then double check everything because apparently the hashes don't match.

If grep printed filename and a hash then everything is alright.
