      I find this part a bit confusing:

      In the second line, it says "cd build," so I moved to build directory and executed the line three, "cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path_to_qt_install_directory> <path_to_qtquickdesigner-components>."

      Then, I naturally executed the line four, "cmake --build ." in the build directory because there was no "cd .." instruction written before, then got a cmake error.

      It turned out I was supposed to do "cd .." before executing "cmake --build ."

      Maybe it's understandable for some engineers but my experience has already proven that some people can get confused and possibly frustrated by this.

      I suggest that we should add "cd .." before "cmake --build ." so that we can avoid unceccesary confusion.
