I have no idea what that is.

I am sure you were directed here because the 'install --help' message
asks you to report bugs here.  But that only means you are running the
/usr/bin/install program on your computer which is part of the GNU
coreutils which is part of the GNU operating system.  I really don't
think this is the install program from your "client agent for CA",
whatever that is.  I am sure that /usr/bin/install is working fine.
It is a copy-like program used by software installation scripts to
install software in a system.  But it is not typically used by someone
on keyboard as you are doing to install another package.  That package
would be the candidate to use the /usr/bin/install program.

I am sorry but I don't think any of us over here can help you.  You
will need to dig into the problem more yourself.

If the instructions are saying "install" to install that seems really
strange since they should almost certainly know that you would get the
command from /usr/bin/install.  Try listing the directory and seeing
if there is an executable "install" program/script in the directory of
your "client agent for CA" and if so then run that explicitly with the
full path.

  ./install
or
  /cdrom/install

Hope that helps.  Good luck!
