OPA for Windows Checksums

[Ronnie-personal]

Hi There,

I'm currently reading https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/#1-download-opa. I have a question about OPA for Windows checksums. The file does not seem to exist, https://openpolicyagent.org/downloads/v0.50.2/opa_windows_amd64.sha256.
Could you please clarify?

Thanks!

It's .sha256, not .shar256. You'll find the file here: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/releases/download/v0.50.2/opa_windows_amd64.exe.sha256

Thank you so much for helping on the question.

Now I understand why I don't have issue to download Linux checksum, but only have issue to download windows checksum file.

'sha265' should be appended to windows binary file name, including the extension 'exe'.

I thought only the file name, not the file extension.

The linux binaries have no extension, so it's linux_amd64_static -> linux_amd64_static.sha256. I suppose adding that information to the windows info box,

Windows users can obtain the OPA executable from here. The steps below are the same for Windows users except the executable name will be different.

Would be a good addition. Would you be up to contributing a PR with that?

Sure, I am happy to update the document.
