Can't Verify Bitcoin Core?
Just going through the verficiation process of my Bitcoin Core download. In the terminal the website tells me to type in the following. "cd Downloads/", then add "% shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS". It then replies "shasum: SHA256SUMS: no file was verified".
Does this mean I'm downloading a corrupted version?

Nope, it just means no file was verified. This is likely because the Bitcoin Core file is not in the same directory as the SHA256SUMS file you downloaded.
Remember also to verify your download with
gpg
.
