 ## Release archives and Linux packages
 
 Every [release](https://github.com/tamnd/kage/releases) attaches `tar.gz`
 archives (and a `.zip` for Windows) for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, plus
 `.deb`, `.rpm`, and `.apk` packages and a `checksums.txt` with a cosign
 signature. Download the one for your platform, extract `kage`, and put it on your
-`PATH`.
