Verify the key’s fingerprint.¶
dev@dev:~$ gpg --no-default-keyring \
> --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg \
> --fingerprint

The gpg command will report the key fingerprint. The fingerprint must match E8A0 32E0 94D8 EB4E A189 D270 DA41 8C88 A321 9F7B. You can also verify the key on Security at HashiCorp under Linux Package Checksum Verification.
Add the official HashiCorp repository to your system. The lsb_release -cs command finds the distribution release codename for your current system, such as buster, groovy, or sid.
