As I understand it, the answer is `Pkg.rm` followed by `Pkg.add` (see [How to activate a package in a script? - #19 by fredrikekre](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-activate-a-package-in-a-script/28185/19)).

However, I find it easier to roll my own package registry. Then I just need to make a blank environment on the remote and issue `Pkg.add(A)`.
