file decompression error during kafka installation with chef - ruby

Question

I'm trying to install kafka using the supermarket recipe as my starting point. But when I run kitchen converge it gives me the following error. It should be something inherent in the archive. What do you think?platform kitchen ubuntu 14.04 tar version 1.27.1
execute 'kafka-install' do
cwd node['kafka']['install_dir']
command <<-EOH
wget http://www-us.apache.org/dist/kafka/2.5.0/kafka_2.12-2.5.0.tgz && \
tar -zxf kafka_2.12-2.5.0.tgz && \
useradd -M #{node['kafka']['user']} && \
chown #{node['kafka']['user']}:#{node['kafka']['group']} -R #{node['kafka']['install_dir']} && \
chown +x /kafka/bin/*.sh
EOH
end
I get the following error
Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[kafka-install]'
