Bug: Installation instructions fail if installing for the first time

Hi, I am running Stata 14.2 on Windows and tried to follow the instructions to install gslab_misc given in the corresponding readme.md file. I got the following error:

. net uninstall benchmark 
package not found
r(111);

It looks like net uninstall fails when the package does not exist. Might it be better to just have a series of net install <package>, replace commands instead of a series of net uninstall, net install command pairs? Thanks

Thanks @mirajshah, good suggestion. We'll implement in #6.

PR passed by @stanfordquan at #6. Rewrites

net uninstall a_package
net install a_package

as

net install a_package, replace
