test(Boolean)

If true (default), run the pack tests.

git(+Boolean)

If true (default false unless URL ends with =.git=), assume the URL is a GIT repository.

link(+Boolean)

Can be used if the installation source is a local directory and the file system supports symbolic links. In this case the system adds the current directory to the pack registration using a symbolic link and performs the local installation steps.

Non-interactive installation can be established using the option interactive(false). It is adviced to install from a particular trusted URL instead of the plain pack name for unattented operation.
