Install (Unix)

{{lowercase}}

The {{mono|install}} command is a Unix program used to copy files and set file permissions. Some implementations offer to invoke {{mono|strip}} while installing executable files.

The command is not defined in POSIX. It has mostly split into two camps in terms of compatibility, a GNU type and a BSD type. The main incompatibility lies in the definition of options {{code|-D}} and {{code|-d}}. The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities.{{Cite web|url=http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/|title=Native Win32 ports of some GNU utilities|website=unxutils.sourceforge.net}}
