    Installer is a scripting language developed by Sylvan Technical Arts and published by Commodore International for AmigaOS. It was first introduced in version 2.1 of AmigaOS in 1992.[1] Its syntax is based on the LISP programming language.

    A compatible re-implementation, InstallerLG, remains under active development as of October 2018.[2]

    Example script

    The following example, taken from the developer guide, demonstrates directory creation with user prompts: 

    (makedir "T:fred"
	(prompt "I will now create the directory \"T:Fred\"")
	(help @makedir-help)
	(infos)
	(confirm)
)

    The InstallerGen tool provides a graphical alternative to writing scripts manually.[3]
