If you download it from Apple, it will run just fine if it's not damaged.
If you have a warez copy of the Mountain Lion installer and want to try and verify it's unchanged and not altered with spyware, tough. Buy it from the Mac App Store.

Sep 15, 2013 8:00 AM in response to 13uzby nbar,You need to download the ML installer from the appstore to verify:
In terminal:
shasum /path/to/package/
shasum /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mountain\ Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
or
shasum /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mountain\ Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport/OSInstall.mpkg

Sep 15, 2013 8:40 AM in response to 13uzby nbar,"The sums are computed as described in FIPS PUB 180-2."
Compare against the openSSL computed value if it makes you feel better:
shasum /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mountain\ Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
=[checksum amount]
openssl sha1 /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mountain\ Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
=[same value]
#validated.

For the App Store downloads, it is done automatically, which is probably why it is not posted anywhere.

Sep 15, 2013 9:06 AM in response to 13uzby nbar,Read the man pages. Read the support article already linked twice. Read what everyone else has said. Contact Apple directly if need be. I am out of suggestions. Adios.
