 ### Defaults
 
 By default `binstall` is setup to work with github releases, and expects to find:
 
-- an archive named `{ name }-{ target }-v{ version }.tgz`
+- an archive named `{ name }-{ target }-v{ version }.{ format }`
   - so that this does not overwrite different targets or versions when manually downloaded
 - located at `{ repo }/releases/download/v{ version }/`
   - compatible with github tags / releases
