In this short article, we would like to show how to calculate md5 sum in Bash for a given string.

Quick solution:

echo -n text | md5sum

# or:

echo -n 'Some text with spaces here ...' | md5sum

Example output:

1cb251ec0d568de6a929b520c4aed8d1

Where -n removes ending newline character from the echo output.

Alternative examples

From string:

md5sum <<< 'Some text here ...'

From file:

md5sum < /path/to/file.txt

From command:

some_command | md5sum
