Description
SB writes in Slack:
would y'all be open to modifying the install script so you can provide a VERSION override? Line 10 here would become
VERSION=${VERSION:-0.18.13}
This would allow easier downgrading if there's an issue.
We'd likely need to also adjust the script that edits this file - not sure if there's any other ramifications beyond that.
