Tried to install ExifTools version 9.54 on Ubuntu 12.04 but failed. The extraction of the files from the tar.gz stops with an error 'Unexpected EOF'. As far as I can see, the file downloaded correctly.

This works for me:

> ls -l Image-ExifTool-9.54.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 phil  staff  3748785  1 Mar 11:37 Image-ExifTool-9.54.tar.gz
> md5 Image-ExifTool-9.54.tar.gz
MD5 (Image-ExifTool-9.54.tar.gz) = 33f9d879951d9e728162702407be925a
> tar -xzf Image-ExifTool-9.54.tar.gz
>


Do you get the same MD5?

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks Phil!
It also works for me now; didn't check the md5 of the original download. I'll certainly do so in future before posting.
