In the first step of the installation proces you can validate the integrity of your CMSMS files by comparing them against the original CMSMS checksum. This can assist in finding corrupt or missing files.

This check isn't required but is highly recommended! If you don't want to do the checksum test, you can click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the screen.

In the download area of CMSMS - where you downloaded your CMSMS package - you can also download a checksum file. Be sure you download the correct checksum file for your CMSMS package:

English package: cmsmadesimple-1.xx.y-english.tar.gz
Checksum file: cmsmadesimple-1.xx.y-english-checksum.dat

Full package: cmsmadesimple-1.xx.y-full.tar.gz
Checksum file: cmsmadesimple-1.xx.y-full-checksum.dat

Save this file on your local computer.

Select the checksum file and click on the "Test" button.

Note: Be sure you uploaded your files in "binary" mode.
When not, you can get "Checksum doesn't match" on language files.
