Helmut,
When publishing to OPAM, you can create an install file that lists what should be installed. I am linking to the example from Bisect_ppx (the question marks mean “if the file exists,” don’t use them if your file will always be built). Bisect_ppx installs a binary called bisect-ppx-report:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/blob/master/packages/bisect_ppx/bisect_ppx.1.2.0/files/bisect_ppx.install
The overall published structure looks like this:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/tree/master/packages/bisect_ppx/bisect_ppx.1.2.0
If you are working locally, you can create your .install file next to the opam file.
In general, it is also possible to get various OPAM paths for the current switch:
opam config var lib
opam config var doc
opam config var bin
Best,
Anton

Installing just means copying this executable into a directory which is in the search path. I have achieved this by copying the executable directly to ".opam/system/bin". However I am not sure if this is the recommended way since somebody else might have chosen another directory name and path on where to store ".opam".
