At least on Mac, it requires chmod +x to run

AFAIK browsers have no support for specifying file permissions for downloads.

We should distribute a tar.

Is the tar extract better than the chmod +x ?

Its more automated. E.g. on macOS, I can just click the icon and it auto extracts it for me with the right perms on it. Don't have to think about it or get confused when I can't execute it.

Its just more obvious how to get it to work.

That's fair. On Linux I'm in the terminal no matter what. I'll get a tar release going.
