macOS: install: illegal option -- D

I was trying to install ion shell on macOS and this is the error I am getting when executing sudo make install

❯ sudo make install prefix=/usr
install -Dm0755 target/release/ion //usr/bin/ion
install: illegal option -- D
usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 file2
       install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
       install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...
make: *** [install] Error 64

Google search suggests that -D option does not exist under macOS/Darwin and suggests using -d instead, but I am not experienced enough with install utility (or Makefile) to understand the subtle differences of the two and fix it myself.
