Fresh install of Pop_OS and when attempting to run the install script I got this error:

gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format

I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.
If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you
transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are
using binary mode.

It appears to be generating from line 467 of the script. during the gunzip command.

It's been a while since this was made but I thought that for anyone else who wants to install to watch out for this.
Just double clicking on the file will corrupt it or make it unusable, due to it opening the file up in a text editor. You'll have to redownload the installer to remedy this.
I'd recommend using these commands to run the installer: `chmod +x ./<sh>.sh` and then `./<sh>.sh` - This will give the required permissions to the file and then run it.
