I'm currently getting this error,
Analyze (javascript)
Error: Unable to locate executable file: tar. Please verify either the file path exists or the file can be found within a directory specified by the PATH environment variable. Also verify the file has a valid extension for an executable file.

While i'm using github actions for self hosted runners. This is occuring while I'm trying to run codeql for security scans.

Attached the workflow yaml file for further details.

For most projects, this workflow file will not need changing; you simply need

to commit it to your repository.

You may wish to alter this file to override the set of languages analyzed,

or to provide custom queries or build logic.

******** NOTE ********

We have attempted to detect the languages in your repository. Please check

the language matrix defined below to confirm you have the correct set of

supported CodeQL languages.

    # Learn more about CodeQL language support at https://aka.ms/codeql-docs/language-support

    # If you wish to specify custom queries, you can do so here or in a config file.
    # By default, queries listed here will override any specified in a config file.
    # Prefix the list here with "+" to use these queries and those in the config file.
    
    # Details on CodeQL's query packs refer to : https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/configuring-code-scanning#using-queries-in-ql-packs

# Autobuild attempts to build any compiled languages  (C/C++, C#, or Java).
# If this step fails, then you should remove it and run the build manually (see below)

# ℹ️ Command-line programs to run using the OS shell.

#   If the Autobuild fails above, remove it and uncomment the following three lines. 
#   modify them (or add more) to build your code if your project, please refer to the EXAMPLE below for guidance.

# - run: |
