MacOS – Installing gnu-tar without brew

homebrewmacos

I am trying to install gnu-tar based on a tutorial guide I am following. However, I am facing some issues having the installing using the following command brew install gnu-tar --with-default-names)

The laptop I have to install it on belongs to the company and I am not given root access to perform sudo commands (however, I am granted administrative rights or it).

Is there an alternative way to install gnu-tar without brew or anything that requires sudo?

Get GNU Tar from Rudix.

You don't need to use Rudix's command-line tool. Just download a pkg from GNU Tar and open it. This will install GNU Tar in /usr/local.
