CentOS 8 Stream: Uncompressing UrBackup Client Installer for LinuxExtraction failed

None of the methods in the documentation work for installing a Linux client on a CentOS 8 Stream VM I have running. I’m getting:

Any clues? This is really frustrating. If I can’t validate that I can backup Linux clients with UrBackup, then I have to move on to another solution.

Wow. Nobody has a clue. I found the answer to be “use another distro”. Ubuntu for the win.

You Must install Linux tar extracting utility to function the script correctly for below error:
