first-setup.sh always places the files under
$LOC/tex/texmf-context/
where $LOC is location of first-setup.sh. The "tex" part is
configurable, but it is governed by some settings that you have to
provide to first-setup.sh explicitely.
If you are using TeX Live and want to install the module, you need to
decide whether you will install it under $HOME/texmf,
$HOME/Library/texlive/texmf, /usr/locat/texlive/texmf-local, etc.

For uninstaller the installer should remember the files and store that
somewhere. This is currently not done at all.

How exactly would you want to use such command? With what TeX distribution?
