For whoever finds this issue ticket, and have a hard time figuring things out, I found from that comment that you need to install gnu-tar to make this work.

brew install gnu-tar

Then, check that tar is using the brew version

which tar

If not, update your ~/.zshrc with export PATH=... with value shown in the brew install step above. (and then source ~/.zshrc)
