+Precompiled version of \gmp and \mpfr are provided in the asset <i>GMP and MPFR libraries, for Windows 64bits</i>
+from https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases.
+If you only install those libraries to use \cgal, then you should extract this archive inside the directory
+`CGAL-\cgalReleaseNumber` created when extracting the \cgal zip source archive.
+That way those dependencies will be automatically detected by cmake
+(you should then get the directory `CGAL-\cgalReleaseNumber``\``auxiliary``\``gmp`).
 
-You can download and run `CGAL-\cgalReleaseNumber``-Setup.exe` from https://www.cgal.org/download/windows.html.
-It is a self-extracting executable that downloads the \cgal header files, and optionally the source code of the
-examples and demos. Additionally, it can download precompiled versions of \gmp and \mpfr.

-Instead of the installer you can also download release tarballs. The sole difference
-is that the installer also downloads precompiled \gmp and \mpfr libraries.
