NAME

install − install binaries

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Binary is moved (or copied if −c is specified) to destination. If destination already exists, it is removed before binary is moved.  If the destination is a directory then binary is moved into the destination directory with its original file-name. 

The mode for Destination is set to 755; the −m mode option may be used to specify a different mode. 

Destination is changed to owner root; the −o owner option may be used to specify a different owner. 

Destination is changed to group staff; the −g group option may be used to specify a different group. 

If the −s option is specified the binary is stripped after being installed. 

Install refuses to move a file onto itself.
