macOS [releases][] are available for Intel and ARM systems. The releases are
packaged as gzipped tarballs (`.tar.gz`). To unpack them, run the following
commands:

   <ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="tabs-0" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item">
      <button class="nav-link active"
          id="tabs-00-00-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#tabs-00-00" role="tab"
          data-td-tp-persist="intel" aria-controls="tabs-00-00" aria-selected="true">
        Intel
      </button>
    </li><li class="nav-item">
      <button class="nav-link"
