Subject: [PATCH] fix(installation): Provide a backup git reference when tag
 can't be curl

closes #423

If the parsed JSON data curled during a bash installation is not valid, use the repository's tag files
as a backup. If those files don't exist somehow, then checkout the master branch and install it.
