Verify Packages with Disk Image Verification (macOS)

The MongoDB release team digitally signs MongoDB Shell packages to certify that packages are a valid and unaltered MongoDB release. Before you install MongoDB Shell, you can use the digital signature to validate the package.

This page describes how to verify .dmg packages on macOS.

If you don't have MongoDB Shell installed, download the MongoDB Shell binary from the Download Center.

To verify the MongoDB Shell package, run:

codesign -dv --verbose=4 <path_to_mongosh_executable>

If the package is signed by MongoDB, the output includes the following information:

Authority=Developer ID Application: MongoDB, Inc. (4XWMY46275)
Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority
Authority=Apple Root CA
