Setting Up the Environment to find hash of file in Python

Prerequisites

• Python installed on your machine (Python 3.6+ recommended).
• Basic knowledge of Python programming.

Installing Python

If Python is not already installed, learn how to install Python.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Python program to compute the hash of a file using various hashing algorithms. The program uses the hashlib module and handles large files efficiently by reading them in chunks. It also includes error handling for invalid file paths and hashing algorithms
