Add below line where DRIVE_NAME is the name of the drive. The drive’s name should contain no spaces, as adding a space to the configuration file would tell your Mac to interpret whatever’s after that space as a separate command. If your DRIVE_NAME is made up of two words separated with a space, for example, “NO NAME”, you have to add a “\” before the space for the system to recognize the space. For example, “NO\ NAME”.

Verifying SHA256 checksum with shasum
A checksum is basically a string of letters and numbers that can be used to determine file integrity, like whether an error occurred during transmission, or whether a file was tampered with. For example, if the file checksum matches on your end with the checksum posted by where you received the file, you can be sure the file is identical.
