• Here is how to calculate the size and checksums (replace 2.5.0 with the correct version):

  # Download the archive
  $ wget https://api.github.com/repos/httpie/httpie/tarball/2.5.0
  
  # Size
  $ stat --printf="%s\n" 2.5.0
  1105185
  
  # Checksums
  $ openssl dgst -rmd160 2.5.0
  RIPEMD160(2.5.0)= 88d227d52199c232c0ddf704a219d1781b1e77ee
  $ openssl dgst -sha256 2.5.0
  SHA256(2.5.0)= 00c4b7bbe7f65abe1473f37b39d9d9f8f53f44069a430ad143a404c01c2179fc
