A method for a computer-aided installation of spatially decentralized electrical components of a machine in the form of a plant, comprising the following steps: - Receiving an identifier of an installation element in the form of a cable or a component; - Providing an installation specification which specifies an assignment of the installation element for connection to an electrical component in the form of a connection module for connection to the installation element and further installation elements; - Identifying the electrical component based on the provided installation specification; and - Initiating an output of at least one installation information based on the received identifier and the identified component, wherein the steps of the process are carried out automatically, wherein the at least one installation information comprises an installation instruction to assist a user with the installation, wherein initiating the output comprises at least one of the following steps: - Initiating an activation of an indicator element on the electrical component in order to indicate a connection point by means of the indicator element for the installation element to be connected to; - Initiating a display of a connection point of the electrical component for the installation element on a user interface of a computer, wherein the user interface visualizes a digital twin of at least a part of the machine, and preferably visualizes a mechanical and/or an electrical structure of the part of the machine; - Initiating an indication of a connection point of the electrical component for the installation element by means of augmented reality; - Initiating an acoustic output of the installation instruction as an instruction for the user to connect the installation element to a specific connection point of the electrical component, the connection point preferably being determined based on the installation specification. comprising the following steps: - Receiving an identifier of an installation element in the form of a cable or a component;
