md5sum tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.md5
sha1sum tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.sha1

or

openssl md5 tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.md5
openssl sha1 tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.sha1

Create Binary Tarball as a helper for Users
