Except when necessary, I prefer not to install into /usr/local as root. My setup is as follows: ``` $ ls -ld /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man/man1 drwxrwsr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jun 8 11:29 /usr/local/bin drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 Oct 12 2021 /usr/local/share/man/man1 ``` Since I'm a member of the `staff` group it all works out. But running `do` on `install.do` failed with an error message: ``` Installing to: /usr/local install: cannot change permissions of ‘/usr/local/share/man/man1’: Operation not permitted install: cannot change permissions of ‘/usr/local/bin’: Operation not permitted ``` This change calls `"$INSTALL"` only when the directory to be installed isn't already there.
