tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format

When attempting to start a new FusionAuth installation (on MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina) I get the error...

tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format

Manually running the startup script tar command...

$ tar xfz "/Users/patrick/fusionauth/bin/../java/openjdk-macos-17.0.1+12.tar.gz" -C "/Users/patrick/fusionauth/bin/../jav

...produces the same error.

So this is a problem with the downloaded file? Does anyone have a workaround for this? Maybe edit the startup script with a different java version?

Please make sure that you are using the latest installation and version of FusionAuth which can be found below

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that command (for macOS)...

sh -c "curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-install/master/install.sh | sh"

...looks like the one I've been using from the 5-Minute Setup Guide.

Just to be sure, I copied the command from that referenced download site and ran it. Unfortunately the same error was returned.

I am wondering if you are running into the error described below:

Can you try the workaround suggested there and see if it resolves the issue?

@joshua Yes, that solved my problem - FusionAuth started and responded at localhost:9011. Thank you!
