Installer (programming language)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scripting language for AmigaOS, derived from the LISP programming language
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]
