Install CMake

We use CMake for project generating.

Official download page: https://cmake.org/download/.

Legacy documentation regarding CMake installations can be found at: (Legacy) Install CMake

Install CMake 3.16+ (Ubuntu 20.04 Focal)

Install CMake 3.16.3 via the conventional Canonical PPA:

sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install cmake-curses-gui  # Recommended, includes ccmake.

Install CMake 3.19+ (Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic)

The latest CMake release per distro (cmake 3.19.1 as of 2020/11/26) is available via Kitware's PPA:

wget -O - https://apt.kitware.com/keys/kitware-archive-latest.asc 2>/dev/null | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://apt.kitware.com/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get update

Then, download and install CMake:

sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install cmake-curses-gui  # Recommended, includes ccmake.

Other providers: Install CMake 3.10+ (Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic)

CMake has been traditionally available via the Canonical PPA. Note, however, that these packages may contain versions that are older (cmake 3.10.2 as of 2020/11/18) than those published in the Kitware PPA and thus break builds with recent software. Skip adding other repositories and simply:

sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install cmake-curses-gui  # Recommended, includes ccmake.

In addition, a pip wheels release exists: ref.
