``DESTINATION``
Specify the directory on disk to which a file will be installed.
If a full path (with a leading slash or drive letter) is given
it is used directly. If a relative path is given it is interpreted
relative to the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable.
Arguments can be relative or absolute paths.
If a relative path is given it is interpreted relative to the value
of the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable.
The prefix can be relocated at install time using the ``DESTDIR``
mechanism explained in the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable
documentation.
If an absolute path (with a leading slash or drive letter) is given
it is used verbatim.
As absolute paths are not supported by :manual:`cpack <cpack(1)>` installer
generators, it is preferable to use relative paths throughout.
``PERMISSIONS``
Specify permissions for installed files. Valid permissions are
``OWNER_READ``, ``OWNER_WRITE``, ``OWNER_EXECUTE``, ``GROUP_READ``,
