Description

Currently, this tool always uses @latest, but it'd be nice to be able to specify a specific version to try out. It helps when you are trying to identify problems after upgrading. I don't know if you'd want to allow 2 versions in the same session, that might be overkill.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the codebase to find where `@latest` is used and add a command line option to specify a version, then pass that version to the module installation logic.
