About elementary OS

elementary OS is a computer operating system originated from United States that is fast, beautiful and secure that can run on your desktop and laptop as an alternative to Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows. It is a free libre open source software (FOSS) operating system developed based on long-term support versions of Ubuntu GNU/Linux and comes with its own technologies such as Pantheon user interface, AppCenter, and elementary Apps. Finally, there are branded elementary OS laptops available from several manufacturers namely Laptop With Linux, Slimbook and Star Labs.

*) we recommend Transmission BitTorrent Client for Windows and MacOS and LibreTorrent for Android user.

1. Go to https://elementary.io. 

2. Scroll down to “Pay what you can:” section.

3. Type “0” into Custom box. 

4. The button switched from “Purchase” into “Download elementary OS“.

5. Click the button > a dialog will show > click Download.

6. You are downloading elementary OS 7. 

7. Once finished, you will have a file named elementaryos-7.0-stable.20230129rc.iso by size 2.5GB. Now proceed to Verify section below.

 

 

Download using BitTorrent Method

1. Visit elementary OS website.

2. Do like in the Normal method, but click “U” button instead. It is called “Magnet Link” also known as BitTorrent download method.

3. Browser will ask you to open the link with a specific program > select Open Link.

• On Kubuntu, this will automatically open KTorrent. 
• On Windows and MacOS, you may need to select Transmission.
• On Android, you may need to select LibreTorrent.

(An example of KTorrent downloading OS 7 by 2.5GB size and 4MB/s speed)

Verify Downloaded File

The downloaded file name should be elementaryos-7.0-stable.20230129rc.iso. This file type is called ISO image file. It should be verified OK before used to run, try and install elementary OS on a computer otherwise it will not work. The method to verify is by checking whether the checksum (identity numbers) of the downloaded file matches the original checksum.

1. Finish the download using one of two methods above.

2. Run the command line below towards the ISO file:

$ sha256sum elementaryos-7.0-stable.20230129rc.iso

3. The result of the command will be a very long line of numbers and letters.

4. Copy that resulting text line.

5. Paste into elementary OS official checksum webpage using Find (Ctrl+F): 

If it is OK, both identities should match and give green color.

 

If it is NOT (meaning you should re-download), both identities do not match and give red color. 

 
We have a copy of the official SHA256 checksum (identity numbers) below: 

2bdffe0b0944405e87d6612fe7879b7af770ced20346453b9ef4b6057f4dd0af
