App Install - MD5 Checksum

Hoping someone else has run into this and has an updated solution.

As I need to batch upload content using an .xml manifest, the content ingestor (sp) suggests including a checksum for each asset. Further, they recommend the application MD5 Checksum which is being distributed via the Apple site here:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/md5checksum.html

In downloading and extracting the app and it's Read Me, I find that the documentation pertains to installation on OSX 10.4 Tiger. As I am running OSX 10.5.8, the directory structure for installation no longer exists, viz:

To install
----------

Place this file:

MD5 Checksum

... in this folder:

~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder

... where ~ represents your Home folder.

Can someone supply an updated path where this app should be installed?

TIA, interrobang

With all due respect, thank you. I'm not sure this is relevant, however I am sure it is preposterously broad in terms of scope of reference.

I could start just about anywhere looking for a needle in a haystack as well. I was hoping someone could provide a magnet, rather than a magnifying glass.

Beyond that, I'm not dealing with server software, simply an install on a desktop machine that will run this little app, I presume, via Automator.

Can anyone else provide a little specificity, if not the actual path to the directory to drop into? It seemed like a very simple question, but perhaps I've posed it in the incorrect forum.
