-The swift images takes a really long time to build (~5 minutes) because of swift-format, but it's only needed when you want to format swift.

+This step is optional, using `yarn cli ...` should work perfectly as well.
 
-## Tooling
+:::
 
 Install the CLI tool by following the instructions at the top of [scripts/install.sh](https://github.com/algolia/api-clients-automation/blob/main/scripts/install.sh) to acces `apic` from your terminal, with bash autocompletion.
 You can run `apic help` to check if it's working properly.
