install: Copy files and create the directories at the destination if they don't exist.
$ install -D ${path-to-source_file1 path-to-source_file2 ---} ${path-to-destination}
try on your machine

This command is using the "install" tool to copy one or more source files to a specified destination directory. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "install" is the name of the tool/command being executed.
  • "-D" is an option for the install command, which tells it to create any directories needed for the destination if they don't already exist.
  • "${path-to-source_file1 path-to-source_file2 ---}" represents the path(s) to the source file(s) that you want to copy. You can include multiple source files separated by spaces.
  • "${path-to-destination}" represents the destination directory where the source file(s) will be copied to.

In summary, this command will copy one or more source files to a specified destination directory, creating any necessary directories along the way.
