I'm not sure about a howto for md5, but you basically need to get the program (easily to comile from 
source) and run it on a file:

md5sum filename
or md5sum file1, file2, file3 etc

and it will print the length(s) of the file in bytes, followed by the checksum(s). There's a page with 
more information, but really you don't need it.

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html

Sometimes I have known the program to be installed with the name md5sum, and other times as md5.

I think it forms part of one of the GNU utilities, but the source is widely available (see above)
