Hello,  
Thinking to contribute I was looking to get a local build running. Relying on [GitHub - Kitware/CMake: Mirror of CMake upstream repository](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake#building-cmake-with-cmake) I’m able to get cmake application what’s good start already.  
Now how can I issue a cmake install package including Modules ?  
Thanks for tips !

Do you want an install tree or an install package?

Install tree sounds good already to me.  
Thanks.

So what are you looking for? Is `cmake --build . --target install` not sufficient? If so, what is missing?
