+And, if you want a system install, install to `/usr/local`; this is an excellent choice in a Docker container, for example on GitLab CI. I don't think I'd try it on a non-containerized system.

+If you are on a system without wget, replace `wget -qO-` with `curl -s`.
 
 You can also build CMake on any system, it's pretty easy, but binaries are faster.

+## Special commands for CMake

+We've already mentioned several special commands, like `-G` for generator, but here is a listing of some other useful flags:
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|-----:|:------------|
+| `-G"Generator"` | Select a generator |
+| `--trace` | Print every line of CMake that is run. Very verbose. |
+| `--trace-source="filename"` | Print out every line of a CMake file when it runs. Very useful. |
