$ dotnet tool install -g dotnetsay --version 2.1.3
You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnetsay
Tool 'dotnetsay' (version '2.1.3') was successfully installed.
$ dotnet tool install -g dotnetsay --version 2.1.4
Tool 'dotnetsay' is already installed.
dotnet tool install should allow a proper upgrade switch / command to avoid the needless (and less script friendly) workaround to always try to do dotnet list -g => dotnet tool uninstall -g => dotnet tool install -g for a simple upgrade
Upgrade doesn't magically happen.

There is an upgrade command:
dotnet tool upgrade -g dotnetsay
I know, but as far as I can tell I can't specify the version on the update, it seems geared to updating to the latest stable.
I am looking for a fool proof way of installing a bunch of dotnet tools as part of an orchestration script.
So ideally, I have something that is idempotent, I run dotnet .... --version 3.1.4 and whatever the current state is, I get the desired version...
Does that make sense?
Again, I'm stressing that this is the default state with apt: apt install xxx=3.1.4 and pip: pip install -U numpy=1.14 as examples

Please continue comment this issues if you think https://github.com/dotnet/cli/pull/10205 cannot solve the problem of your scenario and I will reopen it
dotnet/cli#10205 is a great fix for this issue as far as I'm concerned thanks!
