ELF isn't something you install.   It is the binary format of execustables on
disk.

$ grep ELF /bin/a*             
Binary file /bin/arch matches
Binary file /bin/ash matches
Binary file /bin/ash.static matches
Binary file /bin/aumix-minimal matches
Binary file /bin/awk matches

$ file /bin/arch
/bin/arch: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Heck even the kernel is probably in ELF format.
