I tried uncompress on Linux and it works as expected - but actually I thought gz extension was gzip, So maybe "gunzip CogSpur.tgz" will work better.

And btw this seems related... https://github.com/dalibo/pgbadger/issues/70

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry to not respond sooner, but the mac user only just now got back to me for a few minutes. Still no success, but we'll restart from the beginning on another day. We probably need some options because "uncompress CogSpur.tgz" resulted in:

overwrite Cogspur.tgz? y

uncompress: CogSpur.tgz.Z: No such file or directory

We'll try again with something like "uncompress -dkNl CogSpur.tgz" assuming mac options are same as Debian8, followed by "tar CogSpur.tar" (?)

I'm trying to help someone many miles away install CogSpur on a mac. I run Linux as a newb.

On the mac they have run:

$ curl -L -o CogSpur.tgz https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases/download/20160817...

But when they try to unzip:

$ tar -zxvf CogSpur.tgz

tar: Unrecognized archive format tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Thanks.
