title: How can I specify a specific default installation directory with Conan?
body: <p>I am seeking to deploy (on Linux) a Conan package on a system and there is no <code>deploy()</code> method specified in the conanfile.py. So (I believe) this means the package will be installed in the current directory.</p>
  <p>Instead I'd like to specify a default directory. I have tried using <code>conan install -if /some/directory</code> but get:</p>
  <pre><code>conan install: error: unrecognized arguments: -if  /some/directory 
  </code></pre>
  <p>(It seems I need to couple -g with -if ? But I'm not trying to build the package just deploy it.)</p>
  <p>Is there a way to do this? Have I understood the default behaviour correctly?</p>
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: Writing the question helped clarify my thoughts so I tried with <code>conan install -g deploy -if /some/directory PACKAGE</code> and while I no longer get the <code>-if</code> related error message, it still doesn't work: merely leaving a <code>conanbuildinfo.txt</code> file in the specified directory.</p>
