Installation error on 0.11.1: "tar -xvf static.tar --strip=3" in buildstatic.sh

[fruviad]

I downloaded 0.11.1 and tried an install, and I can repro this on two different systems.

The installer gets to the point of running buildstatic.sh and starts throwing errors when trying to run "tar -xvf static.tar --strip=3". (What exactly is the goal of these 5 tar commands? I've never seen the --strip option before.) Here I run it manually:

Message from Esty in Slack from 7/21/2020:

The goal is to get all of the static files in the original combine repo and all of the external static files downloaded for Livy and Spark with the svn commands in build.sh into a collected static folder that nginx can read easily, so everything has all the right filepaths and the running application can actually access its CSS & JS & images. I think the end result is that all the static files are unpacked into a flat file structure, as opposed to being weirdly and deeply nested?
