You can install it on your own computer and then make an installer package
for the users. They will only have to click on it. By default it will
install in /usr/local or some such, but I think with some effort it will be
possible to install it in another location, e.g. /Library or /Applications
or in a subdirectory of your program (but only in a fixed location). I made
an installer for /usr/local in a few minutes without problems. If you want
I can make it available for you to test.
