Fast lossless compression algorithm used by Docker, kernel and package managers
Zstandard (zstd) is a real-time compression algorithm offering high compression ratios at very high speeds. Used by the Linux kernel, Docker, Facebook's infrastructure, and many package managers.
While `apt install zstd` exists, it ships older versions. More critically, zstd is needed as a build dependency for many other packages (kernel builds, Docker images, package managers) and having the latest version ensures compatibility with newer compression levels and dictionary formats.
```bash
wget https://github.com/Cloud-V-10xE/RISC-V-softwares/releases/latest/download/zstd-
sudo tar -xzf zstd-
