Actual Installer simplifies the job of the software developer and makes distributing programs more cost effective and convenient even for those just getting into the industry. The program was created to help developers of any skill and experience level easily put together distributives that can be packaged with their software for distribution. If you want to install a bleeding-edge, unpublished version of Grunt or Grunt plugin, follow the instructions for specifying a git URL as a dependency and be sure to specify an actual commit SHA (not a branch name) as the commit-ish. This will guarantee that your project always uses that exact version of grunt.
