INSTALL(1)

NAME

install − install binaries

USAGE

install [ −c ] [ −m mode ] [ −o owner ] [ −g group ] [ −s ] binary destination

DESCRIPTION

Install moves or copies the specified binary to the destination indicated on the command line.  If the destination already exists, install removes it before taking any action on the binary.  If the destination is a directory, the binary is moved into the destination directory with its original filename. 

Unless one of the appropriate options is used, install sets destination to 755 mode, and changes its ownership to root and its group identification to staff.

OPTIONS

−c Copy the named binary, instead of moving it. 

−g group Specify a different group identification. 

−m mode Specify a different mode.

−o owner Specify a different owner.

−s Strip the binary after installation. 

RELATED INFORMATION
