Version information: Latest one

Type: I tried to untar gx but it doesn't work.

Severity: High

Description: I installed the pre-built package for Mac OS X at: https://ipfs.io/docs/install/ When I go to Terminal and I go to the Downloads folder (cd Downloads). I try to untar gx but it doesn't work. This is what I typed: cd Downloads

tar xvfz go-ipfs.tar.gz

This is what pops up.
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'go-ipfs.tar.gz'

I checked the downloads folder and the gx folder is there and so is the tar file.

The instruction are misleading a bit the file is named go-ipfs_v0.4.13_darwin-amd64.tar.gz assuming you are using the 64 bit version of OS X.

Thanks! What do I do next?

Downloads elaineyu$ tar go-ipfs_v0.4.13_darwin-amid64.tar.gz
Usage:
List: tar -tf
Extract: tar -xf
Create: tar -cf [filenames...]
Help: tar --help

I'm not a computer programmer so I'm not sure.

This is not really the place to get support, https://discuss.ipfs.io would be better.

I believe osx can also extract it for you if you use finder.
