Are Installers Dead?

Installation of software has usually become simple and easy enough that I feel more safe if i just look it up on the official source and run some curl or package manager command to get it installed. I trust that more than letting an LLM figure it out and then having to worry that I it got hijackeed and installs something based on out-dated or wrong info.

But configuring / setting up complex pieces of technology is something in which I let LLMs help me regularly. I'm happy that I don't have to RTFM that much anymore to get something done. And yes, I'd hate to figure out IAM policies myself or decipher a truckload of error message of third-party systems by myself.

So, yes, I expect LLM help with these kind of things is going to become the norm.

For an LLM to work well, the installer should still exist, the UX should also be kind of self-explanatory and the error message must also have relevant and clear info.

So in that regard, not much has changed.
