2. Follow the steps below to validate the checksum value:
   • For Linux systems, execute the following command:

     sha256sum apm_insight_agent_python.zip

   • For Windows, you can use either of the following commands:
     • Open Command Prompt and execute the following command:

       certutil -hashfile apm_insight_agent_python.zip SHA256

     • Open Windows Powershell and execute the following command:

       Get-FileHash apm_insight_agent_python.zip -Algorithm SHA256

3. After executing the commands, you will obtain a checksum value. Check that value with the one downloaded from the checksum file.

Sample Output:

Note: If the checksum values differ, do not unzip or open the file.
