I want to automate the GUI installation process on Windows and Linux.
Suggest me good tools which can I use for both OS.

Java is a good tool for that. As per this wiki page, IzPack supports several installation modes:
- Interactive Installations Providing a Swing GUI
- Interactive Installations Providing in a Text Console
- Unattended Installations Using Records of Previous Sessions
- Unattended Installations Using Properties
- Mixed Installation Mode Using Variable Defaults
Which means you can either take GUI or CLI or environment under control to generate input signals.
- For GUI (since it's a Swing) you might be interested in this post: Open source tools for automation of Java GUI application testing
- Interaction with CLI is quite straightforward task and does not require any libraries except of the ones packaged with standard JDK bundle. This official Oracle tutorial will give you a good starting point.
- Other types of installation does not require any frameworks either.
Note, that for different platforms IzPack might provide some native features that might require non-trivial approaches (like read values from System Registry)

can you also suggest a good tool among GUI tools which works on both OS? – Sahil Doshi Feb 22 '19 at 7:46
