I was a bit surprised to learn that my Mac didn't have the md5sum and sha1sum tools installed by default. My wd passport stopped working. A quick search and I found a site that provides the source. Office for mac alternatives. The sources compiled successfully on my Mac (OS X 10.5.5, xCode tools installed).
The only quirk appears in the last step:
$ md5 Python-3.3.0a3.tar.bz2 MD5 (Python-3.3.0a3.tar.bz2) = dbd5f88ab17528ac67f3a45ff991f1b0. Download MD5Sum-gui for free. MD5sum is an utility that calculates 128-bit MD5 hash. MD5sum is a little utility that helps you to calculate 128-bit MD5 hashes for a given string, as described in RFC 1321.
2 4 6 8 | $make cpmd5sum sha1sum ripemd160sum/usr/local/bin chownbin:bin/usr/local/bin/md5sum/usr/local/bin/sha1sum chown:bin:Invalid argument |
The make install
command tries to change the ownership of the files to the bin
user. Since that user doesn't exist on my system, the command fails. This isn't a problem though, as both binaries work perfectly. By default, they are installed to /usr/local/bin/
.
Using the OS X md5 instead of md5sum
Md5sum Mac 安装
As a commenter pointed out, the /sbin/md5
utility provided by OS X contains a hidden -r
switch that causes it to output in a format identical to that of md5sum, making it compatible with scripts that require md5sum's format. If you want to use the md5 utility provided by OS X, you can add the following to your ~/.profile
or ~/.bashrc
:
2 | aliasmd5sum='md5 -r' |

Installing with HomeBrew
A commenter mentioned that you can install md5sum
using HomeBrew by running brew install coreutils
.
Update (2015-02-25): The current method for installing via HomeBrew is as follows:
brew install md5sha1sum
Md5sum Mac Install
Installing with MacPorts
A commenter mentioned if you have MacPorts installed, you can run port install coreutils
but 'you'll need to add /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/
to your PATH
.
Md5sum Mac Os
Update (2014-08-25): It appears that you should use sudo port install md5sha1sum
.
