Updating the Cypress GUI in Linux fails

[cdownard]

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04

This is the info @brian-mann gave me:

{
 '0': 
   { Error: Command failed: tar -zxvf "/tmp/cypress.zip" >/dev/null
   gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored
   tar: Child returned status 2
   tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

To currently work-around this simply type this in your terminal:

cypress install

Or just redownload cypress from scratch.
