INSTALL(1)                           BSD                            INSTALL(1)



NAME
     install - install binaries

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

DESCRIPTION
     The install command moves or copies (if you specify -c) the binary to
     destination.  If destination already exists, install removes it before
     taking any action on binary.  If the destination is a directory, install
     moves binary into the destination directory with its original filename.

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

     install refuses to move a file onto itself.

OPTIONS
     -c        Copy binary, instead of moving it.

     -m mode   Specify a different mode.

     -o owner  Specify a different owner.

     -g group  Specify a different group.

     -s        Strip binary after installing it.
