INSTALL_PARALLEL
----------------
.. versionadded:: 3.30
Enables parallel installation option for a project. The install code for each
subdirectory added with ``add_subdirectory`` can run independently.
When using the Ninja generator, setting this property to ``ON``, causes
``install/local`` targets have the console pool disabled, allowing them to run
concurrently.
This property also provides the target ``install/parallel``, which has an
explicit dependency on the ``install/local`` target for each subdirectory.
.. versionadded:: 3.31
When this property is ``ON``, ``cmake --install`` can be given the ``-j <jobs>``
or ``--parallel <jobs>`` option to specify a maximum number of jobs.
The :envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PARALLEL_LEVEL` environment variable specifies a
default parallel level if this option is not provided.
Calls to :command:`install(CODE)` or :command:`install(SCRIPT)` might depend
on actions performed by an earlier :command:`install` command in a different
directory such as files installed or variable settings. If the project has
such order-dependent installation logic, parallel installation should be
not be enabled, in order to prevent possible race conditions.
