Installing software on the command line is often a nightmare

In my experience, installers are often a nightmare.

For me, GUI vs CLI have about the same failure rate (for their operating system).

But I appreciate that the CLI version gives me a message I can search for instead of a "fuck you buddy" pop up box with an "ok" button.

Edit: There's one case where I have a much harder time with CLI installs - when there's only a CLI "installer" available. I don't blame the CLI for that, I blame the person who shares seven CLI commands instead of writing an installer.
