# sha256
## Calculating the SHA256
The `sha256` value is usually calculated by the command:
```bash
$ shasum -a 256 <file>
```
## Special Value `:no_check`
The special value `sha256 :no_check` is used to turn off SHA checking whenever checksumming is impractical due to the upstream configuration.
`version :latest` requires `sha256 :no_check`, and this pairing is common. However, `sha256 :no_check` does not require `version :latest`.
We use a checksum whenever possible.
