You shouldn't verify something based on it's checksum/hash because attacker simply can and replace hash with the hash of malicious installer. Also, AFAIK you can't verify after Bitcoin Core (or any software) is installed.

You should verify the installer with signature of the author/whoever manage the releases. For Bitcoin Core, that would be Wladimir J. van der Laan’s at https://bitcoin.org/laanwj-releases.asc with fingerprint 01EA 5486 DE18 A882 D4C2  6845 90C8 019E 36C2 E964
There are plenty guide to do that, but i'd recommend https://www.linuxbabe.com/security/verify-pgp-signature-software-downloads-linux since it's pretty straight-forward.
