How to install a pilot package

Here's how:

Install a pilot package by using the 'install' action of the d3 command, with the edition of the pilot package you want.

Examples:

sudo d3 install filemaker-14.0.1-2
sudo d3 i sketchup-pro-16.4-1

Discussion:

When an edition is used to refer to a package on the server, that specific package is used, regardless of its status.

When a pilot package is installed, if that edition later becomes live, the receipt will also be marked as live at the next sync.

If a newer edition becomes live, the pilot will be updated (and no longer in pilot) at the next sync, unless the receipt is frozen.
