Installer is a scripting language developed by Commodore International for AmigaOS, first released for version 2.1 in 1992[1]. Its grammar is based on the LISP programming language. A compatible re-implementation named InstallerLG is actively developed as of October 2018[2].

Example from the developer guide:

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

If you don't want to write your own scripts line by line you may use the InstallerGen tool.[3]
