Install UI Extension
Install a UI extension NPM package (.tgz or .tar, as produced by npm pack) into the local extension directory. The package name and version are read from its package.json, and the file is saved as <name>-<version>.tgz. A package with the same name and version is replaced; other versions of the same package are kept, so a project can still pin an older one.
A running Charon server picks up the new package without a restart.

# standard input
dnx dotnet-charon -- EXTENSION INSTALL --input in < my-extension-1.0.0.tgz
Parameters
