+    Depending on which flags are set, runs different steps to install Text-AI Extension in the DB.
+    Possible steps:
+
+    * Call the Text-AI Extension's language container deployment API.
+    If given a version, downloads the specified released version of the extension from ???
+    and uploads it to the BucketFS.
+
+    If given a container_file path instead, installs the given container in the Bucketfs.
+
+    If neither is given, attempts to install the latest version from ???.
+
+    This function doesn't activate the language container. Instead, it gets the
+    activation SQL using the same API and writes it to the secret store. The name
+    of the key is defined in the ACTIVATION_KEY constant.
+
+    * Install default transformers models into
+    the Bucketfs using Transformers Extensions upload model functionality.
+
+    * Install Text-AI specific scripts.
+
+    Parameters:
+        conf:
+            The secret store. The store must contain the DB connection parameters
+            and the parameters of the BucketFS service.
+        container_file:
+            Optional. Path pointing to the locally stored Script Language Container file for the Text-AI Extension.
+        version:
+            Optional. Text-AI extension version.
+        language_alias:
+            The language alias of the extension's language container.
+        run_deploy_container:
+            If True runs deployment of the locally stored Script Language Container file for the Text-AI Extension.
+        run_deploy_scripts:
+            If True runs deployment of Text-AI Extension scripts.
+        run_upload_models:
+            If True uploads default Transformers models to the BucketFS.
+        run_encapsulate_bfs_credentials:
+            If set to False will skip the creation of the text ai specific database connection
+            object encapsulating the BucketFS credentials.
+        allow_override:
+            If True allows overriding the language definition.
