provided for compatibility with older CMake code. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FILES</span></code> form is
directly replaced by the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PROGRAMS</span></code> form of the <span class="target" id="index-2-command:install"></span><a class="reference internal" href="install.html#command:install" title="install"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal"><span class="pre">install()</span></code></a>

<p>Create rules to install the listed programs into the given directory.
Use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FILES</span></code> argument to guarantee that the file list version of the
command will be used even when there is only one argument.</p>

<p>In the second form any program in the current source directory that
matches the regular expression will be installed.</p>
<p>This command is intended to install programs that are not built by
cmake, such as shell scripts. See the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TARGETS</span></code> form of the
<span class="target" id="index-3-command:install"></span><a class="reference internal" href="install.html#command:install" title="install"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal"><span class="pre">install()</span></code></a> command to create installation rules for targets built
by cmake.</p>
<p>The directory <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;dir&gt;</span></code> is relative to the installation prefix, which is
stored in the variable <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.html#variable:CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" title="CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal"><span class="pre">CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX</span></code></a>.</p>
