= Use File Manager To Do Checksums Of Files=
---
You can do checksums of files from the File Manager. To be able to do that you need to install the extension `nautilus-gtkhash`
- Open the terminal application [[ https://tracker.pureos.net/w/pureos/desktop/terminal_emulator/ | Tilix ]] and type the command: {icon terminal} `sudo apt install `nautilus-gtkhash`
- Press enter
- Type your password and press enter again. If you get asked for confirmation, press the key: `y` or the key representing "yes" in your system language

- Select **"Properties"**

- Select **"Digest"**
- Select from the right side of the window the hash you want
- Press **"Hash"**
And you will see the checksum for that file

Same result as doing it from a terminal :)
