Linux Installer Error
KB Home | Linux Installer Error
Q I’m unable to install the Linux version and receive the following error:
gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data—format violated 87+0 records in 86+0 records out tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Error: extraction failed
This message indicates that the installer is corrupt or failed to fully download. Please try downloading again. Some common causes of this are:
- The software was downloaded via FTP in TEXT format rather than BINARY format
- The software was downloaded on Windows and WinSCP was used in the process (this program corrupts *.SH files by changing the text format!)
- The program did not fully download
The recommended method of download is to use the command line program wget
in conjunction with a download URL retrieved from our website. An example is shown below:
wget https://cdn.papercut.com/files/pcng/17.x/pcng-setup-17.0.7-linux-x64.sh sh ./https://cdn.papercut.com/files/pcng/17.x/pcng-setup-17.0.7-linux-x64.sh
Q When I install the Linux version, I receive the following errors:
tar: papercut/providers/hardware…… : time stamp 2011–08025 14:39:42 is 1723090.801629397 s in the future
The machine that you are installing to has an incorrectly set clock. Its time is too old and so we get warning messages when extracting files which have a datestamp newer than the files in the installation archive. To fix this, fix the clock on your machine.
