I was installing on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian. I was using the Chromium browser to read the Docs, and just clicked the Download file link in the instructions page. Then copied the tar command from the instruction page and pasted into the command window.
In the course of researching this issue, when I got the error on the Pi, I tried the same on another system running Ubuntu with the same results. Then I used the "file" command for more info and got ... graham@graham-Nuc:~/Downloads$ file weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU) No report of Zip compression was displayed above. If I use the "file" command on another file that is zipped, then file reports on the Zip compression. Then went back to the Pi system and removed the "z" option from the tar command and things progressed nicely.
