Absolutely, md5sum or shasum is the right way to check the file integrity.

sha1sum
SHASUM(1) FSF SHASUM(1)
NAME
shasum - compute and check SHA1 message digest
SYNOPSIS
sha1sum [OPTION] [FILE]...
sha1sum [OPTION] --check [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
Print or check SHA1 (160-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-b, --binary
read files in binary mode (default on DOS/Windows)
-c, --check
check SHA1 sums against given list
-t, --text
read files in text mode (default)
The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums:
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
-w, --warn
warn about improperly formated checksum lines
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-1. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
