I put "apt-get install" in the CMake folder that I got from unpacking the .tar file. Would that not install the CMake in that directory? That's what I'm asking. What do I have to do in order for it to install the CMake executable I downloaded and also add it to my PATH? ________________________________ From: CMake <cmake-boun...@cmake.org> on behalf of Mateusz Loskot <mate...@loskot.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2018 4:37 PM To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Installing CMake in Ubuntu Linux from command-line via wget

Bash installer or manually unpacking .tar.gz. eg. cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz wget -O cmake-linux.sh https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.sh sudo sh cmake-linux.sh -- --skip-license --prefix=/usr/local 3. Build from sources as per https://cmake.org/install/ > (Perhaps the cmake-linux.sh that Mateusz mentioned works...I > personally haven't installed a version from cmake.org for a > very long time, so I wouldn't know.) I can assure you the option 2. works perfectly I use it daily to juggle CMake on number of Linux environments https://github.com/mloskot/wsl-config/blob/master/wsl/scripts/install-cmake-latest.sh Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net -- Powered by www.kitware.com<http://www.kitware.com> Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
