gzip stdin not in gzip format

Hello I am new here and would first like to say thank you for all that have come before me as I have been reading and reading and reading some more. I have learned a good bit but now that I am ready to install WD I am having an issue and Google tells me that the file won’t unzip as it is not a tar.gz.

What I am trying to do is install this file “Weather Display for Linux console 64 bit Raspberry pi3/4 Version on 10 June 2020” on my Raspberry Pi 4B using Terminal with the process steps as I have found at this location on the forum…

The Weather-Display file comes from this page…

https://www.weather-display.com/fileslinux.php

When I type into Terminal the unzip command tar -zxvf Downloads/consolewd64.tar.gz I get this error…

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

A quick Google search says the file the error indicates that the file is not in gZipped format. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong?

I was able to unpack it using tar -xf

It’s possible that Brian forgot to gzip that version. I had a download file some time ago where that happened.

Welcome to the forum and the growing group of Raspberry Pi consolewd users. I’m glad you found the solution to the problem.
