How To Install md5deep on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install md5deep on CentOS 8.
What is md5deep
This is md5deep, a set of cross-platform tools to compute hashes, or message digests, for any number of files while optionally recursively digging through the directory structure. It can also take a list of known hashes and display the filenames of input files whose hashes either do or do not match any of the known hashes. This version supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Tiger, and Whirlpool hashes.
We can use yum or dnf to install md5deep on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install md5deep.
Install md5deep on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00

After updating yum database, We can install md5deep using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install md5deep
