### Installing the Binaries

Once you have built Kerberos, you should install the binaries. You can do this by running:

         % make install

If you want to install the binaries into a destination directory that is not their final destination, which may be convenient if you want to build a binary distribution to be deployed on multiple hosts, you may use:

         % make install DESTDIR=/path/to/destdir

This will install the binaries under `DESTDIR/PREFIX`, e.g., the user programs will install into `DESTDIR/PREFIX/bin`, the libraries into `DESTDIR/PREFIX/lib`, etc.

Note that if you want to test the build (see Testing the Build), you usually do not need to do a `make install` first.
