To checksum a file you will need to use the corresponding checksum utility:
md5sum for MD5SUMS
sha1sum for SHA1SUMS
sha256 for SHA256SUMS
sha512sum for SHA512SUMS

On the download page for the desired iso file you have also 'SHA512SUMS' 
and 'SHA512SUMS.sign'.
You download both files using for instance 'wget'.

The first step is to verify the signature in 'SHA512SUMS' using 'gpg 
--verify *.sign'.
When you see 'good signature from ...', you have successfully verified 
the iso.

To checksum SHA512SUMS you would do:

$ sha512sum -c SHA512SUMS 2>&1 | grep -i ok

If you see something ending with ': ok', you have successfully 
checksummed the iso.
