install: Copy files to the destination, setting their group ownership.
$ install --group ${user} ${path-to-source_file1 path-to-source_file2 ---} ${path-to-destination}
try on your machine

This command is used to install a group of files (${path-to-source_file1}, ${path-to-source_file2}, ...) to a specified destination (${path-to-destination}). The "--group" option is used to specify the user group to which the files should belong (${user}).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "install": This is the command used to copy files and set attributes.
  • "--group ${user}": With the "--group" option, you can specify the group ownership of the installed files. The "${user}" variable should be replaced with the desired user group.
  • "${path-to-source_file1 path-to-source_file2 ---}": These are the source files to be installed. Replace "${path-to-source_file1}" and "${path-to-source_file2}" with the actual paths of the files you want to copy. If there are more files, continue to add them separated by spaces.
  • "${path-to-destination}": This is the destination directory where the files will be copied. Replace "${path-to-destination}" with the actual path of the intended destination folder.

Overall, this command allows you to copy and set ownership for a group of files from the source path(s) to the specified destination path.
