+## Custom install behaviour
+
+The default install target (executed via, e.g., `ninja install`) does
+installing with reasonable default options. More control over the
+install behaviour can be achieved with the `meson install` command,
+that has been available since 0.47.0.
+
+For example, if you wish to install the current setup without
+rebuilding the code (which the default install target always does) and
+only installing those files that have changed, you would run this
+command in the build tree:
+
+```console
+$ meson install --no-rebuild --only-changed

+## Made install a top level Meson command
+
+You can now run `meson install` in your build directory and it will do
+the install. It has several command line options you can toggle the
+behaviour that is not in the default `ninja install` invocation. This
+is similar to how `meson test` already works.
+
+For example, to install only the files that have changed, you can do:

+```console
