Problem/Motivation

It's impossible to use dr install on ddev without manipulating settings.php first.

$ dr install standard
Drupal is already installed. If you want to reinstall, remove sites/default/files and sites/default/settings.php.

This is not ddev specific. If you already have a configured database you run in to the same problem. In fact, you can start an install and cancel it mid-way through, then you're stuck.

Steps to reproduce

Run dr install standard twice

Proposed resolution

Prompt the user to confirm if they want to proceed, or require --force or -f or similar.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes

Data model changes

Updated parent issue to the meta, and I added a related link to an issue I created to improve install to let it install on any database driver. These may be related/duplicated, sorry.

I've submitted this as a feature request, however if this is meant to have parity with drush then this could be considered a bug.
