There’s a nice note in the prerequisites section of the Host Open Ziti anywhere docs. In addition to jq and curl, it might be a good idea to add tar. Missing tar on minimal installations of Rocky stumped me for a bit.
Oh! Nice catch. I’ll put a pr up to verify tar exists as well as one for the doc. thanks @carljmosca
It doesn’t really matter, but what rockylinux did you run? I tried it via docker with:
docker run --rm -it rockylinux/rockylinux:8 bash
and tar was already there so the quickstart succeeded for me. I’ll still add it to the docs and quickstart, I just wanted to verify it’s fixed after I update.
Rocky 9 on Linode which I assume is the minimal install but they may have their own flavor of the distro. I have to admit, it took me two runs to get the fact that tar was missing…LOL. Thank you.

They’ll get merged “soon”. thanks again. I’ll try with minimal which I recall you indicating before. My bad!
