a simple solution is to create the quarks install directory with a
hidden .keep to prevent rmdir removal:

("mkdir" + d + "&& touch" + d +/+ ".keep").systemCmd;

create parent directories of the install path automatically:

this.systemCmd("mkdir -p" + installPath.dirname + "&>/dev/null", false);
this.systemCmd("ln -s" + localPath + installPath);

and remove them in uninstall:

this.systemCmd("rm -f" + installPath);
this.systemCmd("rmdir -p" + installPath.dirname + " &>/dev/null", false);
