+In addition you will need to configure the **semantic-release** [plugins](../usage/plugins.md#plugins) to:
+- Disable the [`@semantic-release/npm`](https://github.com/semantic-release/npm) plugin
+- Define plugins for the [verifyConditions](../usage/plugins.md#verifyconditions-plugin), [prepare](../usage/plugins.md#prepare-plugin) and [publish](../usage/plugins.md#publish-plugin) steps to release on your package registry. The [`@semantic-release/exec`](https://github.com/semantic-release/exec) plugin is recommended for situation where a release can be done with a shell command.
+
+Here is a basic example to create [GitHub releases](https://help.github.com/articles/about-releases) and use shell command to publish:
+
+```json
+{
+  "verifyConditions": ["@semantic-release/github"],
+  "prepare": [
+    {
+      "path": "@semantic-release/exec",
+      "cmd": "set-version ${nextRelease.version}"
+    }
+  ],
+  "publish": [

+    {
+      "path": "@semantic-release/exec",
+      "cmd": "publish-package"
+    }
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: This is a theoretical example where the command `set-version` update the project version with the value passed as its first argument and `publish-package` publishes the package to a registry.
