install is most commonly used in ``makefiles'' (seemake(1S)) to install afile in specific locations, or to create directories within a file system.Eachfile is installed by copying it into the appropriate directory.
install uses no special privileges to copy files from one place toanother. The implications of this are:
You must have permission to read the files to be installed.
You must have permission to copy into the destination directory.
You must have permission to change the modes on the final copy of the file if you want to use the-m option.
You must be super-user if you want to specify the ownership of the installed file with the-u or-g options. If you are not the super-user, the installed file is owned by you, regardless of who owns the original.
Note that if theROOT environment variable is set, each of thedefault directory paths are prefixed by its value (for example,$ROOT/bin andso on).
install prints messages telling the user exactly what files it is replacingor creating and where they are going.
If no options or directories (dirx . . .) are given,install searches aset of default directories (/bin,/usr/bin,/etc,/lib, and/usr/lib, in thatorder) for a file with the same name asfile. When thefirst occurrence is found,install issues a message saying that it isoverwriting that file withfile, and proceeds to do so. If thefile is not found, the program states this and exits.
If one or more directories (dirx . . .) are specified afterfile, thosedirectories are searched before the default directories.
This version ofinstall (/usr/sbin/install) is not compatible with theinstall binariesin many versions of Unix other than Solaris. For a higherdegree of compatibility with other Unix versions, use/usr/ucb/install, which is described intheinstall(1B) man page.
The following options are supported:
Installfile in the directory specified bydira, iffile does not yet exist. If it is found,install issues a message saying that the file already exists, and exits without overwriting it.
Forcefile to be installed in given directory, even if the file already exists. If the file being installed does not already exist, the mode and owner of the new file is set to755 andbin, respectively. If the file already exists, the mode and owner is that of the already existing file.
Iffile is not found in any of the searched directories, it is put in the directory specified indirc. The mode and owner of the new file is set to755 andbin, respectively.
Create a directory. Missing parent directories are created as required as inmkdir-p. If the directory already exists, the owner, group and mode is set to the values given on the command line.
Ignore default directory list, searching only through the given directories (dirx . . .).
The mode of the new file is set tomode. Set to0755 by default.
The owner of the new file is set touser. Only available to the super-user. Set tobin by default.
The group id of the new file is set togroup. Only available to the super-user. Set tobin by default.
Iffile is found, save the ``found'' file by copying it toOLDfile in the directory in which it was found. This option is useful when installing a frequently used file such as/bin/sh or/lib/saf/ttymon, where the existing file cannot be removed.
Suppress printing of messages other than error messages.
