  <title>Install targets</title>

  <p>Unless your project is very simple, it needs some data files like user
  interface description files. These files are typically copied in standard
  directories and read from there. It means that you cannot run your program
  from the build directory. You need to install it in order to copy all these
  files in the final place, by example in a subdirectory of <file>/usr/local</file>.
  </p>

  <p>There are several possibilities to install targets or a project.</p>

        same directory as the current edited file.

    <cmd>su</cmd> or <cmd>sudo</cmd> to have enough right.
