Installation Preparations ​

Before installation, you need to consider software and hardware compatibility issues and evaluate related configurations and preparations to ensure a smooth installation process.

Obtaining the Installation Source ​

Before the installation, you need to obtain the openEuler DevStation image and verification file.

Follow the steps below to obtain the openEuler DevStation image and verification file:

1. Log in to the openEuler DevStation community mirror site.
2. Select the openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2 version.
3. Based on the architecture and installation scenario of the target environment, select the openEuler DevStation image and verification file to download.
   1. For the AArch64 architecture:
      1. Select the aarch64 directory.
      2. Download the openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-DevStation-aarch64-dvd.iso image to the local system.
   2. For the x86_64 architecture:
      1. Select the x86_64 directory.
      2. Download the openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-DevStation-x86_64-dvd.iso image to the local system.

Verifying Image Integrity ​

Overview ​

To prevent incomplete download of the software package due to network or storage device problems during the transmission, verify the integrity of the software package after obtaining it. Only the software package that passes the verification can be deployed.

This is done by comparing the checksum recorded in the verification file with the checksum manually calculated from the ISO file to determine whether the package is complete. If the two values are identical, the ISO file is intact; otherwise, the ISO image has been corrupted and must be downloaded again.

Prerequisites ​

Before verifying the image integrity, prepare the following files:

• ISO file: openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-DevStation-aarch64-dvd.iso
• Verification file: openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-DevStation-aarch64-dvd.iso.sha256sum. This file stores the integrity verification information of the ISO image. The checksum entries correspond one-to-one with the ISO file values.

Operation Guide ​

To verify the file integrity, follow the steps below:

1. Calculate the SHA-256 checksum of the file by running the following command:

   bash

   sha256sum openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2-DevStation-aarch64-dvd.iso

   After the command is executed, the checksum value is displayed.

2. Compare the checksum calculated in step 1 with the SHA256 value copied from the verification file.

   If the checksum values are identical, the ISO file is intact. If the checksum values are different, the file integrity has been compromised, and the ISO image needs to be downloaded again.
