"invalid magic" on pi3-plugins.tar.gz

Elk Audio OS

I downloaded the Pi3 plugin tarball directly from the link using wget. I got some sort of TLS warning but the file still downloaded. Then:

Hmmm. This is a pretty fundamental problem to overcome to get beyond the first example.

  • Is the MD5 checksum wrong?
  • Filesize wrong?
  • I shouldn’t use “tar” on this OS?

Problem solved, I downloaded the file to my Mac, expanded it then used scp to copy the 3 files to the Pi.
