Changed my mind about "installer" as a first-class concept, at least
in the current implementation. Not every documented output is an
installer

First-time installation of a UBIFS Liminix system presently can only
be done from the U-Boot command line (or from a ramdisk-based recovery
system: see "kexecboot" but we don't have detailed instructions for
this process yet).
This output provides a UBIFS filesystem image and a small U-Boot script
to make the manual installation process very slightly simpler. You will
need a serial connection and a network connection to a TFTP server
containing the filesystem image it creates.
These steps were tested on a Belkin RT3200 (also known as Linksys
E8450). Other devices may be set up differently, so use them as
inspiration and don't just paste them blindly. Consult the Liminix
manual for how to connect a serial cable to your device and get into
U-Boot
