Noun
installer (plural installers)
- One who installs.
- 2014, Lynn Van Der Wagen, Lauren White, Human Resource Management for the Event Industry, page 110:
- In the event industry there are two critical times when safety is often compromised, at bump-in and at bump-out. At bump-in the organizer is usually pressed for time and it is not uncommon for installers to work around the clock. At the end of the show or exhibition, bump-out carries an even higher risk as everyone is exhausted.
- (computing) A program that installs software in a computer and prepares it for use.
- 2002, Lars Powers, Mike Snell, Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the .NET Framework Class Library, page 968:
- Because this version of the Windows Installer is aware of the GAC, it has the capability to publish components into it. […] You can manually or programmatically push an assembly into the GAC by using the command-line tool Gacutil.exe.
- 2018 July 16, Ben Cotton, “The oldest, active Linux distro, Slackware, turns 25”, in Opensource.com:
- Slackware does not include a graphical installer. Its package manager does not perform any dependency resolution. This can be jarring for new users, particularly within the last few years, but it also enables a deeper understanding of the system.
