<div>Thanks, sorry for the missing space!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Finally, on several successive trials, I get a different checksum
each time, and, of course, different of the required one:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>63c01c03cdc39c7b3fd76c7a2dad5ae4<br>
0f49b29036ab98cc8f213da7a821f699</div>
<div>3e20a30b511b2742e1279ca08e85d34d</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>while it should be:</div>
<div><font face="Times" size="+1" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Times" size="+1"
color="#000000">973605af585212059b7565f1d542e398</font>.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Clearly, downloading is not correct.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best regards,</div>

Howdy,<br>
<br>
There has to be a space between the md5 and the path:<br>
<br>
openssl md5 /Users/admin/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg<br>
<br>
or, easier, simply<br>
<br>
md5 ~/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg<br>
<br>
in Terminal. Assuming you have MacTeX.pkg on your Desktop.<br>
<br>
Good Luck,<br>
