 ## Building a CodeQL database for a QL program
 
 First, get an extractor pack:
 
-Run `./create-extractor-pack.sh` (Linux/Mac) or `.\create-extractor-pack.ps1` (Windows PowerShell) and the pack will be created in the `extractor-pack` directory.
+Run `./scripts/create-extractor-pack.sh` (Linux/Mac) or `.\scripts\create-extractor-pack.ps1` (Windows PowerShell) and the pack will be created in the `extractor-pack` directory.
