Frontend can be installed either from local zip file, or automatically downloaded from the web.
-You can give all the options directly on the command like, but missing information will be filled out by looking at the data configured under `frontends.available` in the config files.

For a frontend configured under the `available` key, it's enough to install it by name.

-The resulting frontend will always be installed into a folder of this template: `${instance_static}/frontends/${name}/${ref}`

-Careful: This folder will be completely replaced on installation
