Always verify integrity of NGLEmp release!
It's very important to verify before install that NGLEmp release wasn't corrupted!
If NGLEmp checksums mismatch or your distribution doesn't have NGLEmp.sha1 file, then release may be corrupted or infected with malware!
Get valid checksums online at NGLEmp project page.
SHA-1 checksums of main files (stored in NGLEmp.sha1):
5e793caa28e2736f92ce7e31af38e889587541a1 NGLEmp.8bx
79cf48966af218196042087cb8ba1a8cdee3264d painter.cfg
Verify checksums (SHA-1):
shasum -c NGLEmp.sha1
Correct answer:
NGLEmp.8bx: OK
painter.cfg: OK
Don't use NGLEmp release if checksums mismatch!
