what is install?

install is a command line utility for GNU based OSes which copies a file with specific permissions. It is useful to make package managers.

syntax:-

install(TargetFile, Destination, Permissions)

• TargetFile is the file which is to be copied
• Destination is the target destination(it should be a directory) where TargetFile will be copied
• Permissions is the specific permissions supported by os.chmod()

Note:- There are only specific permissions supported:- [exec_all, write_all, read_all, rwe_all, read_user, write_user, exec_user]

• exec_all: permission allows every user to execute
• exec_user: permission allows current user to execute
• read_all: permission allows every user to read a file

• write_all: permission allows every user to edit a file
• write_user: permission allows every user to execute
• rwe_all: permission allows current user to perform read,write and execute
