Exceutable files downloaded trough http: are vulnerable to MiM attacks, since server can be faked and file with dangerous code executed, ideally https should be implemented on the server but in this case, file is not available through https so download is verified with sha512

If incorrect file is downloaded hash will be different and installation fail
