This seems very odd ... a quick one-liner install process is by far the simplest and most efficient way to install a piece of software ...
What other fragility and unnecessary complexity comes along with graphical installation tools ?
Is this a pain point for non-technical users you might prepare this system for ? Who do you have in mind when you specify this ?

It is not simpler, if you don't know the exact magic line that does it for the specific application. GUI tools allow for easy and convenient search.
