What's this?

install(from, to, mode = nil, verbose = false) public

If src is not the same as dest, copies it and changes the permission mode to mode. If dest is a directory, destination is dest/src. If mode is not set, default is used. If verbose is set to true, the name of each file copied will be printed.
