problem with installer in linux

when trying to use the osmc installer, i get to “installing” and it errors immediately “an error occurred extracting the archive”

Ill copy the log if necessary, but it gets all the way to “extracting” and then just stops with no further info…

what software does it use to extract? do i need to install a dependency for it? is it a permissions issue? thank you.

Hard to see what the issue is without the log.
