## Verify a Release
To verify a release, download the .zip, .sha256, and .asc files for the release
(replacing exetype-1.3-win32.zip with the release you are verifying):
````
$ wget https://github.com/rasa/exetype/releases/download/v1.3/exetype-1.3-win32.zip{,.sha256,.asc}
````
Next, check that sha256sum reports "OK":
````
$ sha256sum -c exetype-1.3-win32.zip.sha256
exetype-1.3-win32.zip: OK
````
Lastly, check that GPG reports "Good signature":
````
$ gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x105a5225b6ab4b22
$ gpg --verify exetype-1.3-win32.zip.asc exetype-1.3-win32.zip
gpg: using RSA key 0xFF914F74B4BB6EF3
