[Python] ROS1 catkin_make failed: catkin_install_python() called without required DESTINATION...

I tried to add python scripts to my packages reference this two tutorials.

Handling of setup.py

Installing Python scripts and modules

So I added setup.py in root test\src\test_pkg, changed CMakeLists.txt in path test\src. (My package root path is test\, and my package path is test\src\test_pkg, my python scripts path is test\src\test_pkg\scripts)

This is setup.py.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


from distutils.core import setup
from catkin_pkg.python_setup import generate_distutils_setup


setup_args = generate_distutils_setup(
packages=['test_pkg'],
scripts=['/scripts'],
package_dir={'': 'src'}
)

setup(**setup_args)


This is CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(test_pkg)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
roscpp
rospy
std_msgs
sensor_msgs
message_generation
)

catkin_python_setup()

catkin_install_python(PROGRAMS scripts/talker
DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION})

add_message_files(
FILES
Num.msg
)

add_service_files(
FILES
AddTwoInts.srv
)

generate_messages(
DEPENDENCIES
std_msgs
sensor_msgs
)

catkin_package(
CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp rospy std_msgs message_runtime sensor_msgs

include_directories(
# include
${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

install(PROGRAMS
DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
)


Then I run catkin_make in path test.(I have run test\devel\setup.bat) And got this CMake error:
