Verifying Your Seti Astro Suite Pro Download

This page shows how to confirm that the file you downloaded is the same file published on the GitHub Releases page.

✅ Important: Every platform has its own file and its own SHA-256. Use the SHA-256 that is shown right next to the asset you downloaded on the release page.

1. Find the SHA-256 on GitHub

  1. Go to the release (for example: SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.4.0).

  2. In Assets, find the file you downloaded, e.g.:

    • setiastrosuitepro_windows.zip
    • setiastrosuitepro_mac.tar.gz
    • setiastrosuitepro_linux.tar.xz

  3. Copy the sha256: ... value shown next to it.

You’ll compare your local hash to that value.

2. Verify on Windows

  1. Open PowerShell in the folder where you downloaded the file.

  2. Run (change the filename if you downloaded a different one):

    Get-FileHash .\setiastrosuitepro_windows.zip -Algorithm SHA256

  3. Compare the output to the SHA-256 from the release page.

3. Verify on macOS

  1. Open Terminal and go to your downloads folder:

    cd ~/Downloads

  2. Run:

    shasum -a 256 setiastrosuitepro_mac.tar.gz

  3. Compare the output to the SHA-256 from the release page.

4. Verify on Linux

  1. Open a terminal and go to the folder with the file.

  2. Run:

    sha256sum setiastrosuitepro_linux.tar.xz

  3. Compare the output to the SHA-256 from the release page.

5. If it doesn’t match

  • Make sure you copied the SHA-256 for the same file.
  • Re-download and check again.
  • If it still doesn’t match, contact us with the OS and filename.
