+CMake is a tool that generates project files for the selected target build system (e.g. Unix makefiles) or IDE (e.g. Visual Studio).
+Here we describe the build procedure using Windows platform with Visual Studio as an example.
 However, CMake is cross-platform and can be used to build OCCT on Linux and macOS in essentially the same way.

 CMake deals with three directories: source, build or binary and installation.

 * The source directory is where the sources of OCCT are located in your file system;
-* The build or binary directory is where all files created during CMake configuration and generation process will be located. The mentioned process will be described below.
-* The installation directory is where binaries will be installed after building the *INSTALL* project that is created by CMake generation process, along with header files and resources required for OCCT use in applications. 
+* The build or binary directory is where all files created during CMake configuration and generation process will be located;
+* The installation directory is where binaries will be installed after building the *INSTALL* project, along with header files and resources required for OCCT use in applications.

 The good practice is not to use the source directory as a build one.
-Different configurations should be built in different build directories to avoid conflicts. 
-It is however possible to choose one installation directory for several configurations of OCCT (differentiated by platform, bitness, compiler and build type), for example:
+Different configurations should be built in different build directories to avoid conflicts.
+For example:

    d:/occt/                   - the source directory
-    d:/tmp/occt-build-vc10-x64 - the build directory with the generated

                                 solution and other intermediate files created during a CMake tool working
-    d:/occt-install            - the installation directory that is
-                                 able to contain several OCCT configurations
