is there a command to install plugin on your system via cmake  
theres the `COPY_AFTER_BUILD` option in the juce plugin config  
but if you’ve got build caching it wont copy/install (because nothing was rebuilt)

do I need to setup my own custom cmake install config?  
I tried to run `cmake --install build-dir` and it installed the JUCE library to my system, instead of my plugin
