Description
Instead of relying on stdin and stdout by default, using the huh package from charmbracelet allows us to handle user input more gracefully such as y/n instead of typing 'yes' or 'no'. If a user makes a mistake whilst typing in any text fields they cannot use left or right to edit a single character when using huh it can. This adds a dependancy and may increase the size of installer but overall improves user experience.
How to test?
Building the installer now uses components from huh package to handle just user input (instead of building a full weight TUI which is too much for just an installer). You can simply run the installer once built and to test the fallback logic you can run TERM=dumb ./installer
