Installing Appian on a Linux OS fails with the following error:
Installing x86 Data Files... Error in action ExecuteAction Error in action UnzipFile

This issue is related to how the Appian installer file was copied to the Linux host server.
Re-copy the installer file as a root user on the Linux server and test again.
This article applies to all versions of Appian.
