I've installed the latest version of msys2 from msys2.org
http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20161025.exe
I ran the upgrade instructions
Update the package database and core system packages with:
pacman -Syu
If needed, close MSYS2, run it again from Start menu. Update the rest with:
pacman -Su
Following this I am unable to locate tar in the filesystem
I have tried to run them again
$ pacman -Syu

msys is up to date
:: Starting core system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
$ pacman -Su
:: Starting core system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
Why is there no tar command?
How do I install tar?
TIA
Steve
