NAME

install − install binaries

SYNOPSIS

install [ −c ] [ −p ] [ −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 −p option causes install to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification times and modes of the source files, ignoreing the present umask. 

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.
