I can’t think of any command-line tools with GUI installers. The two don’t seem to go together :)

* If it’s just a single binary that doesn’t need a specific location, distribute it as a zip file and just have a readme that says to move it somewhere in your $PATH, like /usr/local/bin or ~/bin.
* Otherwise you can put an “install.sh” shell script in the zip file that will do the appropriate installation.
* Even better, add your tool to Homebrew so people just have to type “brew install thisniftytool” to install it.
