Image Artist: Avoid permission issues when extracting installation files

When installing Image Artist on a Linux system, both the main installer and any hotfix/patch are distributed as .tar archive files.

Linux systems use a umask setting to determine the default permissions for newly created files and directories. If you extract these .tar files in an environment with a non-standard umask - for example, 0077 - the extracted files might lack essential read or execute permissions. This can prevent the installer or hotfix/patch from running correctly.

Solution  

To ensure correct permissions during extraction:

1. Extract the tar file using the --same-permissions option:

tar -xvf imageArtist_installer.tar --same-permissions 
 

2. Run the installer.

Repeat the same steps for any patch or hotfix tar files.

Note: This method preserves the permissions stored in the archive, regardless of your system's umask setting. 

If your system's version of tar does not support --same-permissions, you may temporarily set the umask to 0022 before extraction:

umask 0022

tar -xvf imageArtist_installer.tar
