Hello .

Walking through the document and came up with below thought. NIT though.

[Kibana doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/rpm.html#install-rpm) suggest user to MANUALLY to compare checksum ,where [elasticsearch doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html#install-rpm) do this automatically in _shasum_ command .

I thought it might be better for kibana to do it the same way as elasticsearch for people who are using automation tools .

Thanks,  
Yu Watanabe

Thanks for the suggestion @YuWatanabe. I totally agree that both documentations should be aligned so I've opened a PR in the Kibana repo with this suggestion

> \## Summary

> Following this \[recommendation\](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/check…sum-confirmation-during-kibana-installation-for-rpm/320425) from a community member, this PR aligns the instructions to install Kibana from RPM with \[Elasticsearch documentation\](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/b7060bad9a837d05973d96745db7a485a61bc148/docs/reference/setup/install/rpm.asciidoc?plain=1#L114-L117) to also download the checksum file and use \`shasum\` to run the test and confirm the file is correct.

No nit is small enough 😄
