Ubuntu ISO Download

Download the latest Ubuntu ISOs

This is used to download Ubuntu ISOs and verify the download. The SHA256 hash of the ISO is downloaded and the signed GPG file used to verify that the file is valid. Once downloaded, the hash of the ISO is compared to the expected value and either confirmed or the file is deleted.

Install

Users can obtain ubuntu-iso-download as a snap:

snap install ubuntu-iso-download --classic
