4.. deprecated:: 3.0
5
6  Use the :command:`install(PROGRAMS)` command instead.
7
8This command has been superseded by the :command:`install` command.  It is
9provided for compatibility with older CMake code.  The ``FILES`` form is
10directly replaced by the ``PROGRAMS`` form of the :command:`install`
11command.  The regexp form can be expressed more clearly using the ``GLOB``
12form of the :command:`file` command.
13
14::
15
16  install_programs(<dir> file1 file2 [file3 ...])
17  install_programs(<dir> FILES file1 [file2 ...])
18
19Create rules to install the listed programs into the given directory.
20Use the ``FILES`` argument to guarantee that the file list version of the
21command will be used even when there is only one argument.
22
23::
24
25  install_programs(<dir> regexp)
26
27In the second form any program in the current source directory that
28matches the regular expression will be installed.
29
30This command is intended to install programs that are not built by
31cmake, such as shell scripts.  See the ``TARGETS`` form of the
32:command:`install` command to create installation rules for targets built
33by cmake.
34
35The directory ``<dir>`` is relative to the installation prefix, which is
36stored in the variable :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
