How To Install rhash on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install rhash on CentOS 8.
What is rhash
RHash is a console utility for calculation and verification of magnet links and a wide range of hash sums like CRC32, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, AICH, ED2K, Tiger, DC++ TTH, BitTorrent BTIH, GOST R 34.11-94, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R, Whirlpool and Snefru. Hash sums are used to ensure and verify integrity of large volumes of data for a long-term storing or transferring. Features * Output in a predefined (SFV, BSD-like) or a user-defined format. * Can calculate Magnet links. * Updating hash files (adding hash sums of files missing in the hash file). * Calculates several hash sums in one pass * Ability to process directories recursively. * Portability
We can use yum or dnf to install rhash on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install rhash.
Install rhash 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
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Extras 23 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - FastTrack 40 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - HighAvailability 36 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Plus 24 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - PowerTools 50 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 13 kB/s | 9.2 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install rhash using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install rhash
Install rhash on CentOS 8 Using yum

After updating yum database, We can install rhash using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install rhash
How To Uninstall rhash on CentOS 8
To uninstall only the rhash package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove rhash
