This is a zip file. It can be extracted on most operating systems without installing any additional software, and is generally recommended for Windows users.

We also provide {{MW stable release link|1=a tarball (tar.gz file)}}. It is advised not to use 7-Zip to decompress the tarball (.tar.gz file), due to a 1>phab:T257102|bug with the PAX format. macOS users should note The Unarchiver has a 1>phab:T258716|bug which corrupts filenames in tarballs. Archive Utility can be used instead.
