Not really.  OS9 was designed in a time where ROMs or removable media
were the norm.  Much like all operating systems of that day or even
for several years later (i.e. MS-DOS) there was no real "install".
You just prep a disk with the bootstrap bytes in the expected place.

There are a wide variety of preconfigured disks available from the
NitrOS9 download site.  These should serve to get a newbie up and
running with any common system.  I'm not sure there is any better
option.
