Download the release package containing our repository configuration file and package signing public key. Use the version that corresponds to the major version of your EL distro.

Verify the package file's SHA-256 digest with `sha256sum`. The currently expected digests are:
```

```
This isn't as secure as checking the package signature would be _if_ you previously had our package signing public key, but on another distro you probably don't have that yet, so checking the digest against its copy obtained from this separate website is a best-effort measure.
### Note
Regardless of whether installing on Rocky or another EL distribution, the `security-common` repository comes disabled by default out of an abundance of caution because of the packages contained within the repository which override the base Rocky Linux packages.
In order to receive packages from the SIG, either enable the repository (`dnf config-mangager --enable security-common`), or activate for a single DNF transaction with `dnf --enablerepo=security-common install <package>`.
