 ### Surge
 
-Install the Surge CLI if you haven’t already by running `npm install -g surge`. Run the `surge` command and log in you or create a new account. You just need to specify the *build* folder and your custom domain, and you are done.

+When asked about the project path, make sure to specify the `build` folder, for example:
 
 ```sh
-              email: email@domain.com
-           password: ********
        project path: /path/to/project/build
-               size: 7 files, 1.8 MB
-             domain: create-react-app.surge.sh
-             upload: [====================] 100%, eta: 0.0s
-   propagate on CDN: [====================] 100%
-               plan: Free
-              users: email@domain.com
-         IP Address: X.X.X.X
-
-    Success! Project is published and running at create-react-app.surge.sh
 ```
 
 Note that in order to support routers that use HTML5 `pushState` API, you may want to rename the `index.html` in your build folder to `200.html` before deploying to Surge. This [ensures that every URL falls back to that file](https://surge.sh/help/adding-a-200-page-for-client-side-routing).
