Checksum to verify download integrity?
I have searched both the discussion forums and the site (using google) to see if there are checksums (md5sum or sha256sum) to enable me to verify the integrity of the tarball prior to installation.
If these do not exist would it be possible to publish them please within the installation instructions for Linux? [1]. If they do exist, then apologies for missing them.

And the same goes for updates, which Zotero downloads via HTTPS from zotero.org subdomains.
(On macOS and Windows the executables are also signed, but Linux doesn't support that, and in any case it doesn't provide much additional security as long as you know you're getting the file from zotero.org.)
But I am thinking of something a bit different:
1) Making sure that there is no horrible corruption introduced during the download which might result in a semi-functional binary that does something horrible
2) Making it easy to see which version I have installed. I have had different versions simultaneously present. At present I simply execute "zotero" and if I knew the hash/fingerpint I could know for sure which one that was.
You have been very patient and helpful. Thank you.
