Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I find that a good addition to the installer would be having more descriptive messages. I.e adding success messages after each installation step, rewriting the existing logs to be more descriptive of the issue at hand and presenting the user with possible solutions. A good example of this style of logging would be rust's cargo. Such an addition would make the installation process more user-friendly and help the adoption of eaf, also reduce the amount of people who create repeated issues/discussions or abandon the project due to installation problems.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
- Success messages after every completed command
- More descriptive error messages and presenting the user with possible solutions or hints as to why their installation is failing

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
X

**Additional context**
I'd like to take on these, if the maintainers approve.
