npm install 0x.js fails on clean node install

@tomhschmidt This is likely due to a web3.js dependency that is hosted on github rather than npm. Do you have git installed on you new machine? This issue suggests that may be the problem.

Otherwise there is an open discussion in the web3.js repo. Apparently this dependency will go away in web3.js 1.0, but I'm unsure of a timeline.

@citizens Yup, have git installed

git --version
git version 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98)

I just tried installing web3 with npm and got the same error, so you're right. Kind of a bummer :/ -- weird that it works with yarn but not with npm. Is there a yarn pkg for this bignumber git repo?

This is annoying. We have been waiting to upgrade to Web3 1.0 until it gets out of Beta but we might have to do so sooner :/
