Description

When you download something on https://www.zowe.org/download.html
The action that happens after the download varies by which thing you download.

Some downloads redirect the webpage to a docs.zowe.org page which explains how to install them.
Others redirect the webpage to a zowe.org page which explains how to verify the authenticity of the download.

But, we should do both, always!
https://zowe.jfrog.io/artifactory/list/libs-release-local/org/zowe/2.2.0/ contains the hash needed to verify any of our zowe downloads.
But only the pax option sends you to this page https://www.zowe.org/post_download.html?version=2.2.0 explaining how to get the hash file, and how to use it.
The page seems specific to .pax, but the instructions can be done on any of the download types!
And, if you end up at docs.zowe.org instead of this page, docs.zowe.org doesnt have these instructions so you can't learn how to verify a download with the other download types

I think the website should be changed to either

  • have these instructions on each installation guide
    or
  • have this page on each download type, prior to going to the documentation.
