Hi Jacques CHECKING INTEGRITY OF DOWNLOADED FILE I went to the link https://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html and was referred to I was referred to https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip. I downloaded and also downloaded the sha512 file. I entered the command "sha512sum apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip.sha512" and got the following: df159a4c52c360c6a1100e2fae57f190cc9acf801951e823518f29b542b3fd61cb2c09dbb4b72d5d0123876263f35a5685197065265c6f783354a9dfea65f621 apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip 486cab98daec9a9fc04e727794d04e43f2f24d4c01acc29d7a8da2d48ef3112d873d5daf7bafa80d877bc82e74bffc580892786d9569b459b0e694d3141c101f apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip.sha512 The two don't seem to match. The sha512sum apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip file is 31.3 Mb. What is the correct size? What can i do if the keys don't match?
