You can install this version as follows:

java -jar nuts.jar -r dev -w beta --switch -ZyS

Note that this will reset the beta workspace (hence will erase any existing beta version) and will switch/promote this version to system globals (nuts command in shell will point to this version). If this is not the intended behaviour please read documentation to adjust the appropriate command line options.
