Verify the SHA1 hash value (e.g. Quartus Prime Pro Edition 25.3.1)

You can check the SHA1 hash value by the following method.

 

<For Windows>

Use the certutil command.

certutil -hashfile <ファイルパス> [ハッシュアルゴリズム] 例) certutil -hashfile C:\altera\installer\QuartusProSetup-25.3.1.100-windows.exe SHA1

<For Linux>

Use the sha1sum command.

sha1sum <ファイルパス> 例) sha1sum /home/usr1/temp/altera_installer/QuartusProSetup-25.3.1.100-linux.run
