How to check a Minke installer against published SHA-256 digests with Minke

Confirm a downloaded Minke package matches the official release checksums before installing it.

Who it is forA security-conscious user or IT admin who must confirm a downloaded installer came from the official Releases page before running it.

The problemPre-release builds are not notarized, so the README asks users to download only from the official Releases page and a checksum check adds a second confirmation.

The outcomeThe user knows whether the downloaded package matches the digest listed in the official SHA256SUMS file.

What you need first

  • A macOS, Windows x64, or Linux x64 computer
  • Access to the official GitHub Releases page for Minke
  • For remote access: a Tailscale account and Tailscale installed on the Minke computer and the phone
  • For building from source: Git with submodule support, Node.js 24 or newer, and pnpm 11.28.5

Steps

  1. Download the package for your platform from the official Minke Releases page.
  2. Download the release checksums from https://github.com/lencx/Minke/releases/latest/download/SHA256SUMS.
  3. Compute the package digest with shasum -a 256 <package-file> on macOS or Linux. (inferred, check the README)
  4. Compare the output with the matching line in SHA256SUMS and install only if they match. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Using the lencx/Minke README and its SHA256SUMS release file, verify the SHA-256 digest of the downloaded <package-file>. Expected output: a match or mismatch report for that exact filename. Verify that the filename in SHA256SUMS matches the downloaded package name before comparing digests.

Caveat. The README publishes SHA256SUMS but does not give a verification command, so the commands in this use case are a general approach rather than a documented Minke step.
