Congratulations to the community for the latest release of elementary OS 8! This is the 8th edition of the OS, released November 2024 and based on Ubuntu Noble Numbat. This traditional welcome article wants to help you to download it via direct or torrent method as well as verify the checksum. You can download it using any device of yours whether it is Ubuntu, Windows, MacOS, or Android. You may also consider to support back elementary OS Project by several ways explained at the end. Finally, happy downloading!
1. Web browser.
2. BitTorrent client (for torrent method).

2. Scroll down to “Pay what you can:” section.
3. Type “0” into Custom box. Otherwise, select any dollar amount if you want to donate.
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 8.
7. Once finished, you will have a file named elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso
by size 2.5GB. Now proceed to Verify section below.
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.
4. BitTorrent program will ask you location to save the file > select a directory
as you wish > OK > download starting.
5. Once finished, a BitTorrent program will show status “100%” or “seeding” and the file name is elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso by size 2.5GB.
(An example of KTorrent downloading OS 8 by 3GB size and 2MB/s full speed)
1. Finish the download using one of two methods above.
2. Run the command line below towards the ISO file:
$ sha256sum elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.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 8 official checksum webpage (archive) by using Find (press Ctrl+F):
If it is OK, both identities should match and show green color.
We have a copy of the official SHA256 checksum (identity numbers) below:
2567c1d2ab97a89562af82f8e8f9fcfa0192784596da73a520b2a34bad0227c8
Once the ISO image file is verified OK, you can proceed to the installation.
Read the documentation https://elementary.io/docs/installation (archived).
