npm install -g git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git results in this error:

error An unexpected error occurred: "Command failed: tar -xzf /home/glennsl/.cache/yarn/npm-@opam-alpha/react-1.2.0-f071a1308b6cad131c55cda8677823c3/.yarn-tarball.tgz --strip-components 1 -C /home/glennsl/.cache/yarn/npm-@opam-alpha/react-1.2.0-f071a1308b6cad131c55cda8677823c3\n\ngzip: stdin: not in gzip format\ntar: Child returned status 1\ntar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now\n".

Seems to be an issue with packages tared up on macs being incompatible with GNU tar.
