Those two command lines do _not_ imply that you need ./install nor
./install-info (that is, executables found in your current working
directory), but rather the version of 'install' and 'install-info' as
found via a $PATH search.  You probably never want to run './install' or
'./install-info', but should instead run 'install' (for a PATH search)
or '/usr/bin/install' (for an absolute path of the installed binary).

I'm assuming that you are using a GNU/Linux system, in which case it is
safe to assume that these two programs (install is from coreutils,
install-info is from info) are pre-installed and that your PATH is
probably already set up to use them.  There's generally no need to
rebuild a local copy of either of these applications into your current
working directory.

I will go ahead and close out this bug report, but we can reopen it if
you can provide more information relevant to the situation, or even a
suggestion of where to make a documentation patch that would have helped
you out in the first place.
