Those strings are the same but one is base64 encoded, the other is hex..

It would be good to provide some instructions on the download page on how to verify the download.

Thx for your feedback, we'll update our docs to describe that step.

Thanks for your help 👍. I was able to get the correct value by using:

openssl dgst -sha512 -binary ledger-live-desktop-1.0.1-mac.zip | base64
