Options: mode preserve noop verbose

If src is not same as dest, copies it and changes the permission mode to mode. If dest is a directory, destination is dest/src. This method removes destination before copy.

  FileUtils.install 'ruby', '/usr/local/bin/ruby', :mode => 0755, :verbose => true
  FileUtils.install 'lib.rb', '/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby', :verbose => true
