Why the checksums didn't match and is there's a way through which I can fix this error and install tabby using choco?

This error can happen if the owner of the package mixed versions, or updated the product while not updating the version number.

You may avoid this error by running :

choco install tabby --ignore-checksums -y

You will need to verify afterward that tabby is functional, in case the checksum error was a serious one.

For more information see the article Chocolatey Package Error - Checksums do not match.
