Using Kickstart, once I get to the final installation screen I get:

TypeError — substr(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given

/home/customer/www/../public_html/installation/platform/models/joomlasetup.php::L1014

Not sure if this is a bug?

This is a known issue; a fix will be coming next week.

Until then, here's how to deal with existing backups.

After extracting the backup archive and before clicking on "run the installer" edit the file installation/platform/models/joomlasetup.php.

Find line 981 which currently reads

if (empty($allowedDomains))

and change it to

if (empty($allowedDomains) || true)

Now go back to Kickstart and click on Run the Installer.
