Why did you have to repeat and rephrase what you've said in this thread: Command line on Linux to verify Electrum?

You can just edit the OP and include your own reply (mentioning it as "edit" under a [hr] tag will do)
Bump the thread if you want it to get noticed, just don't forget to delete the bump later.

More organized.

First, you need ThomasV fingerprint.

gpg --recv-keys 7F9470E6

Or save from https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x2BD5824B7F9470E6 as ThomasV.asc

Go back to Electrum website https://electrum.org/#download and download Electrum-3.1.2.tar.gz and its signature Electrum-3.1.2.tar.gz.asc

Copy all the 3 files to the same folder, open the terminal and use command 'cd' to navigate to that folder and run these commands.

gpg --import ThomasV.asc

gpg --verify Electrum-3.1.2.tar.gz.asc Electrum-3.1.2.tar.gz

If the message returned says Good signature and that it was signed by ThomasV with a fingerprint that ends with 7F9470E6, then the software is authentic.
