Description

Sometimes, especially during development and troubleshooting, it would be nice to be able to reinstall a version in a similar manner to Homebrew. In its primitive form, it could be just `uninstall` and `install` chain, but take further, it could be done transactionally, too, i.e. a failure to install won't remove the previous instance.
