 ====== Building ======
 ===== Linux =====
-Once the server has been built and installed (with ''./configure && make install''), from the server sources root:
+Once the server has been built and installed (i.e., by running ''sh autogen.sh && make install''), navigate to the ''utils/cre'' directory from the server source root.
+  cd utils/cre
+Check you are in the correct directory with the ''pwd'' command:
+  $ pwd
+  /home/<username>/crossfire-crossfire-server/utils/cre
+The first compilation step depends on the version of QT installed and the Linux distribution being used. Here are some guidelines:
+For Debian, Devuan, Linux Mint, PopOS, and Ubuntu:
+  qmake
+For Fedora and Manjaro:
+  qmake-qt5
+The ''qmake'' or ''qmake-qt5'' command usually executes quickly and only displays output if there is an issue.
+Next, execute the ''make'' command. This process may take up to 5 minutes or more and can output over 300 lines of text. Any alerts or warnings can generally be ignored during this process.
+  make
-''cd utils/cre && qmake && make''
+Once the compilation process is complete, change directory to ''cre''.
-Make sure to use qmake from Qt version 5, and not a previous version. On Fedora for instance, you need to run ''qmake-qt5''
+  $ cd cre
-''cd utils/cre && qmake-qt5 && make''
+Verify your location using the ''pwd'' command:
-or
+  $ pwd
+  /home/<username>/crossfire-crossfire-server/utils/cre
-''cd utils/cre qt5-qmake && make''
+To run CRE, enter:
-This should build the tool, to run it:
+  ./cre
-''utils/cre/cre''
+Alternatively, you can launch CRE from your home directory using:
-should do the trick.
+  ./crossfire-crossfire-server/utils/cre/cre
