 You need Qt5 and the associated development package.

 ===== 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'' directory from the server source root.
-''cd utils/cre && qmake && make''
+  cd utils
-Make sure to use qmake from Qt version 5, and not a previous version. On Fedora for instance, you need to run ''qmake-qt5''
+Check you are in the correct directory with the ''pwd'' command:
-''cd utils/cre && qmake-qt5 && make''
+  $ pwd
+  /home/<username>/crossfire-crossfire-server/utils
-This should build the tool, to run it:
+The first compilation step depends on the version of QT installed and the Linux distribution being used. Here are some guidelines:
-''utils/cre/cre''
+For Debian, Devuan, Linux Mint, PopOS, and Ubuntu:
-should do the trick.
+  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
+Once the compilation process is complete, change directory to ''cre''.
+Verify your location using the ''pwd'' command:
+  $ pwd
+  /home/<username>/crossfire-crossfire-server/utils/cre
+To run CRE, enter:
+  ./cre
+Alternatively, you can launch CRE from your home directory using:
+  ./crossfire-crossfire-server/utils/cre/cre

 CRE standalone is available from [[http://crossfire.weeger.org/cre-latest.exe|this direct link]] (make sure to check the [[http://crossfire.weeger.org/cre-latest.exe.sha512|sha512 sum]]).
+FIXME - are the manual setup steps listed below still required with the current .exe installer?
 After putting the ''.exe'' in the directory of your choice, you need to assemble a few prerequisites before it will run:
+FIXME - Discord/IRC discussion indicates, "CRE expects cre's dir/var/{arch,maps}" - is this still correct?
 First, create a directory alongside the .exe, named ''share''. Get the ''i18n'' directory from the server source (it's in ''[[https://sourceforge.net/p/crossfire/crossfire-server/ci/master/tree/lib/i18n/|lib\i18n]]'') and place it here too.
