 Here is an example of how to build the library in Release:
 ``` {.bash}
-  > git clone https://github.com/CGAL/cgal.git /path/to/cgal.git
-  > cd /path/to/cgal.git
-  > mkdir -p build/debug
-  > cd build/debug
-  > cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
-  > make
+git clone https://github.com/CGAL/cgal.git /path/to/cgal.git
+cd /path/to/cgal.git
+mkdir -p build/release
+cd build/release
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
+make
 ```
 Note that *no installation is required* to use that version of CGAL once it has been compiled.
