When I attempt to download the latest version it's listed as a zip, but downloads as an x86_64 executable. I am using a Fedora based Linux OS. Opening the file through the GUI doesn't do anything. Is there a way to just get the zip?

What do you mean you can’t run the executable? Is the execute ‘x’ permission set for the file for your user/group? Try running ‘chmod +x <executable>’ and then try running it.
