Force.com Migration Tool to deploy managed packages without using AppExchange

Hi,

I am trying to install a managed package using the Migration tool and ANT scripts. However, I am able to do it in two steps 

1- Install a managed package in dev environment
2- Retrieve the package into the local system via ANT
3- Connect to another dev environment and deploy the package from local system via ANT

Is there any way where I can directly use ANT scripts to install the managed package into Salesforce?

Regards,
Satya
