INSTALL(1)INSTALL(1)NAMEinstall - install binaries
SYNOPSISinstall [ -c ] [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ] [ -g group ] [ -s
] binary destination
DESCRIPTION
Install copies binary to destination. If destination already exists,
it is removed before binary is copied. If the destination is a
directory then binary is copied into the destination directory with its
original file-name. The -c option is kept for backward compatibility
with older shell scripts that invoke the install command. The -q flag
sets install in "quick" mode. The -r flag causes install to run ranlib
on binary (an archive) after installing it in destination.
The mode for destination is set to 755; the -m mode option may be used
to specify a different mode.
The destination file is changed to owner root; the -o owner option may
be used to specify a different owner.
The destination file 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. Additional options to the -s option are specified -sX,
where X is chosen among the options available via the strip(1) command.
Currently implemented are:
-sX — see strip -X
-sx — see strip -x
-sA — see strip -A
-sS — see strip -S -sSd — see strip -S -d
-sgg — see strip -gg
-sAn — see strip -A -n
The install utility refuses to move a file onto itself.
