Downloading ISOs
Section titled “Downloading ISOs”Rocky publishes images and checksum files under a per-major-version tree (dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/10/), so you can fetch per-architecture images and their checksums from there.
Rocky Linux publishes latest symlinks that always point at the current minor release:
# DVD image (recommended, full package set)curl -LO https://dl.rockylinux.org/rocky/10/isos/x86_64/Rocky-10-latest-x86_64-dvd.iso
# Minimal image (minimal server install)curl -LO https://dl.rockylinux.org/rocky/10/isos/x86_64/Rocky-10-latest-x86_64-minimal.isoWith a regional mirror, replace the official repository root https://dl.rockylinux.org/rocky in the commands above with the mirror’s repository root (e.g. https://mirrors.aliyun.com/rockylinux); everything from /10/isos/... onward stays the same.
Checksums
Section titled “Checksums”Always verify the CHECKSUM file in the ISO directory (SHA-256 plus GPG signing notes):
curl -LO https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/10/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUMsha256sum Rocky-10-latest-x86_64-dvd.iso
