Source code using cmake does not include the command line for  
installing the binary into the standard $DIRECTORY/bin location.  
Where would a reference to these commands exist?

Some more details would be helpful, but the CMake code should have something like:

```cmake
install(TARGETS the_exe RUNTIME DESTINATION "bin")

```

You can install using `cmake --build $builddir --target install`.
