>From the manpage:

      install [options] [-s] [--strip] source dest

      -d, --directory
              Create  each given directory and any missing parent
              directories, setting the owner, group and  mode  as
              given  on  the command line or to the defaults.  It
              also gives any parent directories it creates  those
              attributes.   (This is different from the SunOS 4.x
              install, which gives directories  that  it  creates
              the default attributes.)


      -D     Create  all  leading  components of the dest except
              the last, then copy source to dest.  This option is
              useful  in the first format in the synopsis, above.
