Torrents

In order to assist with distribution, we have also created .torrent files that can be used to download and seed the release files for others.
Please continue seeding the torrents if you can!

Checksums

To make sure that you have got the right file and that it has not been corrupted during file transfer, it is always wise to ensure the integrity of your download. To that end, you can use the SHA256 checksums shown below to verify that what you have is the correct file.

If you are in Haiku, macOS or Linux, you can use the sha256sum command from the Terminal to generate a checksum for your downloaded file and verify against those above. If you are in Windows, you can use a tool such as hashtab to display checksums for files directly in explorer.

Cryptographic Signatures

To further validate releases, you can also check the cryptographic signature of the release media against our public key using Minisign (available for Haiku, Windows, Linux, BSD, and OS X). The matching .minisig file needs to be placed next to the iso file on your filesystem.

Haiku signing key
Haiku's public signing key is also available at /boot/system/data/trust_db/haiku-2019.pub under recent versions of Haiku.

Upgrading from R1/beta2

There is an upgrade path available for users that are currently using Haiku R1/beta2. If you want to do this upgrade, you will have to use the Terminal (not SoftwareUpdater!) to issue some commmands. To do so,

Warning: only upgrading from Beta 2 is supported!
It may be possible to upgrade from prior development images, but this is untested and you may run into unknown problems.

The following commands will replace your existing “Haiku” and “HaikuPorts” repositories with their R1/beta3 equivalents:

pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/r1beta3/$(getarch)/current
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current

If this is successful, you may then run a full-sync to perform the actual upgrade:

pkgman full-sync

After that step has completed successfully, you should immediately reboot the system. You can do this from the Deskbar, or by running shutdown -r in Terminal.
