This is a zip file. It can be extracted on most operating systems without installing any additional software, and is generally recommended for Windows users.
We also provide a tarball (tar.gz file). It is advised not to use 7-Zip to decompress the tarball (.tar.gz file), due to a bug with the PAX format. macOS users should note The Unarchiver has a bug which corrupts filenames in tarballs. Archive Utility can be used instead.
