To install Rocky Linux 9.0, head to the [download page](https://rockylinux.org/download/) and download the version you need for your architecture.
A complete installation walk-through for Rocky Linux 9.0 is available on the [Rocky Linux documentation website here](https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/installation/).

While this is covered in the installation walk-through (above), it is important that you verify your download against the CHECKSUM for that file to make sure there is no corruption or tampering. You can do this with the following steps assuming that you've downloaded the file on another machine using Linux:

* In the directory where you've downloaded the ISO image for your target architecture, download the CHECKSUM file as well. Example:

```
curl https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM -o CHECKSUM
```

* Then issue the command:

```
sha256sum -c CHECKSUM --ignore-missing
```

* If you get back the following on the command line, your file has been verified. Note we are assuming the minimal ISO below, but it may be the DVD ISO as well:

```
Rocky-9.0-x86_64-minimal.iso: OK
```

Optionally, you can get access to any of the Rocky Linux release version checksums, by going to the [github repository here](https://github.com/rocky-linux/checksums).
