Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/15693

What is the issue?

In the manual install steps: https://docs.ollama.com/linux, one of the steps to download Ollama archive and extract the binaries fails.

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64.tar.zst \
    | sudo tar x -C /usr

If I modify the options used for tar I can get it to unzip properly.

Relevant log output

I get the following error:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64.tar.zst \
    | sudo tar x -C /usr
tar: Archive is compressed. Use --zstd option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

OS
