Docsite suggests `tar -axvf` which is invalid on mac #164

:wave: Howdy!

Was trying out tar -axvf path/to/distribution.tar.zstd as suggested on the docs but got slapped with tar: Option -a is not permitted in mode -x on CI. Guess Macs have different cmdline options.

Looks like -I zstd is required if you want to make it portable.

I think most platforms work with just tar xf at this point.
