   # Instead of installing to /usr/local, install to this path instead.
  -#prefix = "/usr/local"
  +prefix = "install-prefix"

   # Where to install system configuration files
   # If this is a relative path, it will get installed in `prefix` above
  $ mkdir install-prefix
  $ ./x.py install -i --stage 0 --config config.toml.example

  $ ls install-prefix/
  bin	lib	share
```
