First download the 54 [KEYS](https://www.apache.org/dist/logging/KEYS) as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. 55 Make sure you get these files from the [main distribution directory](https://www.apache.org/dist/logging/), rather 56 than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using 57 58 gpg --import KEYS 59 gpg --verify apache-log4j-${Log4jReleaseVersion}-bin.tar.gz.asc 60 61 Apache Log4j ${Log4jReleaseVersion} is signed by ${Log4jReleaseManager} (${Log4jReleaseKey}) 62 63 Alternatively, you can verify the SHA512 signature on the files. A unix program called sha or sha512sum is included 64 in many unix distributions. 65 66 $h2 Previous Releases 67 68 Log4j ${Log4jReleaseVersionJava6} was the last 2.x release to support Java 6.
