<section name="Verify Releases">

<p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP or MD5 signatures.</p>

<p>The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG.  First
download the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/KEYS">KEYS</a>
as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular
distribution.  Make sure you get these files from the <a
href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/">main distribution
directory</a>, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
using</p>

<p><code>
% pgpk -a KEYS<br />
% pgpv jakarta-ant-bin-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% pgp -ka KEYS<br />
% pgp jakarta-ant-bin-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% gpg -import KEYS<br />
% gpg -verify jakarta-ant-bin-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc
</code></p>

<p>Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files.  A
unix program called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code> is
included in many unix distributions.  It is also available as part of
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU
Textutils</a>.  Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a
href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, <a
href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or
<a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a>.</p>

<p>We highly recommend to verify the PGP signature, though.</p>
