Comment (by danieliser):

 I would add that if you are planning to change the entire UX and UI
 anyways it may be time to think about background installation via AJAX, so
 that if you search for something and want to install multiple you can
 click install now and it will in the background and come back letting you
 know its installed, further letting you activate it without leaving the
 page. If it redirects upon activation it could simply return the link in a
 lightbox where the user should visit to get started.
