<Steps>

1. Download the [file](https://mirror.cachyos.org/ISO/desktop/260308/cachyos-desktop-linux-260308.iso.sha256) containing the SHA256 hash **(Open it with a text editor, e.g., Notepad)**.
2. Open CMD or PowerShell as Administrator and [navigate](<https://www.wikihow.com/Change-Directories-in-Command-Prompt>) to the path where the ISO and SHA256 files are stored.
1. Download the [file](https://mirror.cachyos.org/ISO/desktop/260308/cachyos-desktop-linux-260308.iso.sha256) containing the SHA256 hash.
2. Open CMD or PowerShell and [navigate](<https://www.wikihow.com/Change-Directories-in-Command-Prompt>) to the path where the ISO and SHA256 files are stored.
3. Execute the following command:
```powershell
# Example:
certUtil -hashfile cachyos-desktop-linux-260308.iso SHA256
powershell "sv f (-split (Get-Content 'cachyos-desktop-linux-260308.iso.sha256')); if (((certutil -hashfile (gv f -v)[1] SHA256)[1] -replace ' ','') -eq (gv f -v)[0]) { 'OK' } else { 'FAIL' }"
```
4. Compare the certUtil hash output to the one from the downloaded file in **Step 1**. If they match, you may proceed with the CachyOS installation.
4. If the output from **Step 3** is OK, you may proceed with the CachyOS installation.
