  3. Save the download to the C:\Windows directory and rename the file to tar.exe.
  4. Enter the following command to verify if gzip.exe is installed:

    D:\tar_teradata_client_packages

    If gzip.exe is not installed, a message similar to the following appears during the creation of the tar file:
    Notice: The executable gzip.exe is not found. Download from www.gzip.org
    for MSDOS to automatically compress the output tar file to a gzip file.
