cat saphira.tar.xz.sha256

Why this matters

A checksum proves the file you have is the file that was published. It catches truncated downloads, corrupted storage, a mirror that went wrong, and deliberate tampering. If the checksum does not match, delete the file and download it again. If it still does not match, tell us.
