# '@fnet/checksum' Project Analysis 

The '@fnet/checksum' project is a source code that allows end-users to **generate a checksum (hash based cryptography)**. The checksum serves as a unique identifier for a piece of data, in the sense that, if even a single element of the data changes, the checksum will change as well. It ensures that the **data was not modified** during transmission or storage and helps in **verifying data integrity**. 

## Use of Cryptographic Algorithms

This project uses the **'sha256' cryptographic hash function** by default. The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) produces an almost-unique, fixed size 256-bit hash, which is highly suitable for checksum operations.

## Varieties of Checksum Calculations 

The code has a number of methods for calculating checksums, depending on the type of data input:

1. **Checksums for Directory Content**: The code gathers the information about each file in a specified directory, including any files in its subdirectories. Each file path is added to an array 'inputs'. Every file is then read and a checksum is calculated. The array of file path and hash is then sorted to preserve the alphabetical order. Finally, a unique checksum for the entire directory is produced. 

2. **Checksum for Objects**: The code calculates checksums for JavaScript objects. This includes *nested objects* and the objects containing *strings or Buffers* only. 

3. **Checksum for Individual Files, Buffers, or Strings**: The code can calculate a checksum for an individual file by reading the content of the file, converting it into a buffer and then generating a unique hash for it.

## Error Validation 

A key feature is its **in-depth error validation**. It checks the validity of users' input and can handle and inform about variety of errors, like invalid path, invalid content type, path is neither file nor directory, and no content or path provided etc. 

## Concluding Note 

The '@fnet/checksum' project serves the important function of preserving data integrity, and as a result assists in identifying whether files or data packets have been altered or tampered with. This makes it particularly valuable for end-users particularly interested in **data security** and **integrity validation**.

# @flownet/ffmpeg-installer

Easily install `ffmpeg` on macOS using the `@flownet/ffmpeg-installer` library. This library checks if `ffmpeg` is already installed, and if not, it will attempt to install it via Homebrew. You can also specify a particular version of `ffmpeg` if you do not want the latest version.

## Installation

You can install this package via npm:

```bash
npm install @flownet/ffmpeg-installer
```

## Usage

Here's a basic usage example:

```javascript
import ffmpegInstaller from '@flownet/ffmpeg-installer';

// Install the latest version
ffmpegInstaller().then(console.log).catch(console.error);

// Install a specific version, e.g., 4.3.1
ffmpegInstaller({ version: '4.3.1' }).then(console.log).catch(console.error);
```

## Command Line

If you want to use the library in the command line, you can use the provided binary:

```bash
fnet-mpeg-installer               # Install the latest version
fnet-mpeg-installer --version 4.3.1  # Install a specific version
```

You can also use the shorthand:

```bash
fnet-mpeg-installer -v 4.3.1
```

## Dependencies

This library depends on Homebrew being installed on your macOS. If Homebrew is not installed, the library will inform you and ask you to install it manually.
