The downloaded installation package is a compressed file (.zip).

Verify the Integrity of Mech-Eye SDK Installation Package

Since the Mech-Eye SDK installation package may be corrupted during transmission or downloading, you need to verify the integrity of the installation package. The integrity of the installation package can be verified with the CRC-32 value, which is provided on the download page.

Please install and use libarchive-tools to calculate the CRC-32 value:

sudo apt-get install libarchive-tools

To verify the integrity of the software installation package, follow these steps:

Execute the following command to calculate the CRC-32 value of the compressed file:
- If the system architecture is AMD64, execute the following command:
  crc32 Mech-Eye_API_2.3.0_amd64.zip
- If the system architecture is ARM64, execute the following command:
  crc32 Mech-Eye_API_2.3.0_arm64.zip
Check the calculated CRC-32 value against the one on the download page. The two values should be identical.
Decompress the compressed file. After decompression, you will obtain the software installer in the DEB format (.deb).
Execute the following command to calculate the CRC-32 value of the software installer:
- If the system architecture is AMD64, execute the following command:
  crc32 Mech-Eye_API_2.3.0_amd64.deb
- If the system architecture is ARM64, execute the following command:
  crc32 Mech-Eye_API_2.3.0_arm64.deb
Check the calculated CRC-32 value against the one on the download page. The two values should be identical.

If the calculated values do not match those provided on the download page, please download the installation package again.
