  • used operating system: Mac OS 10.13.6

I don't know about Mac but on Linux you must install cabextract.

This can also be resolved the same way on macOS using a package manager.

homebrew;

brew install cabextract

Macports

sudo port install cabextract

Edit;
However as it’s a very small binary it’s usually best to just ship it
