Hi @saagarjha Can you please update the installation instruction please.

With current installation instructions. I am gettting compilation errors.

I think the version of Swift you're using is too old. unxip requires Swift 5.6 (specifically, Concurrency support). If you're on a recent version of macOS, I would recommend installing the command line tools and using its Swift to boostrap unxip, then downloading a recent version of Xcode.

Closing this; do let me know if you still have difficulty after following my suggestion.
