Morphology

installer = install (transparent) = install + er

Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to the verb 'install', directly denoting a person who installs.

Etymology

The word installer comes from install ('to put in place') and the ending -er which means 'one who does', so an installer is a person who puts or fits equipment into the right place.
