NAME
       install - copy files and set attributes
SYNOPSIS
       install [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
       install [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
       install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...
DESCRIPTION
       This  install  program copies files (often just compiled) into destina-
       tion locations you choose.  If you  want  to  download  and  install  a
       ready-to-use package on a GNU/Linux system, you should instead be using
       a package manager like yum(1) or apt-get(1).
       In the first three forms, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s)  to
       the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and owner/group.
       In the 4th form, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).
       Mandatory arguments to long options are  mandatory  for  short  options
       too.
       --backup[=CONTROL]
              make a backup of each existing destination file
       -b     like --backup but does not accept an argument
       -c     (ignored)
       -C, --compare
              compare  each  pair of source and destination files, and in some
              cases, do not modify the destination at all
       -d, --directory
              treat all arguments as directory names; create all components of
              the specified directories
       -D     create  all  leading  components of DEST except the last, or all
              components of --target-directory, then copy SOURCE to DEST
       -g, --group=GROUP
              set group ownership, instead of process' current group
       -m, --mode=MODE
              set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x
       -o, --owner=OWNER
              set ownership (super-user only)
       -p, --preserve-timestamps
              apply access/modification times of SOURCE files to corresponding
              destination files
       -s, --strip
              strip symbol tables
       --strip-program=PROGRAM
              program used to strip binaries
       -S, --suffix=SUFFIX
              override the usual backup suffix
       -t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY
              copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
       -T, --no-target-directory
              treat DEST as a normal file
       -v, --verbose
              print the name of each directory as it is created
       -P, --preserve-context
              preserve SELinux security context (-P deprecated)
       -Z     set  SELinux  security context of destination file and each cre-
              ated directory to default type
       --context[=CTX]
              like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the  SELinux  or  SMACK
              security context to CTX
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       The   backup   suffix   is  '~',  unless  set  with  --suffix  or  SIM-
       PLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.  The version control method may be selected via  the
       --backup  option  or  through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.
       Here are the values:
       none, off
              never make backups (even if --backup is given)
       numbered, t
              make numbered backups
       existing, nil
              numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
       simple, never
              always make simple backups
