training-labs uses its own installer because the project goal is to do 
the full deployment (that is, including the creation of appropriate VMs) 
in an automated fashion on all supported platforms (Linux, macOS, 
Windows). The scripts that are injected into the VMs follow the 
install-guide as closely as possible. We were pretty close to automating 
the translation from install-guide docs to shell scripts, but some 
issues remained (e.g., some scripts need guards waiting for services to 
come up in order to avoid race conditions; this is not documented in the 
install-guide).
