Verify a download (optional)

Check before you install.

You don't need to do this for the helper: the installer checks it for you.

01
Get the checksums
Save SHA256SUMS.txt in the same folder as the file you downloaded.
SHA256SUMS.txt
02
macOS, Linux
Run this in that folder. Every file you have should say OK.
Terminal
```
$ shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing
```
03
Windows
Run this in that folder, then compare the hash with the file's line in SHA256SUMS.txt.
PowerShell
```
PS> Get-FileHash .\ClipSave-1.1.0-chrome-unpacked.zip
```

Something doesn't match? Don't install it, and report it privately.

Later on

Update or remove.

Update

Run the install command again for the newest helper and yt-dlp; do this first if a site stops working. For the extension, download the new zip, replace the old folder's contents and click reload on ClipSave in the extensions page.

macOS, Linux · Terminal

$ curl -fsSL https://ext.clipsave.link/install.sh | sh

Windows · PowerShell

PS> irm https://ext.clipsave.link/install.ps1 | iex

Remove

This removes the helper and unregisters it from your browsers. Then remove the extension from the extensions page. Your saved videos aren't touched.
