This article uses the Binary distributions installation method:

On link: http://www.cmake.org/download/

Download the cmake-3.3.0-rc2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz binary bundle and unzip it under Linux with the TAR-ZXVF cmake-3.3.0-rc2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz command.

The CMake version of Ubuntu comes with the Apt-get install mode is a bit old. The project requires the latest version of CMake 2.8.9, which is also packaged in Cpack, in order to experience the convenience of a cpack release, try it.

First uninstall the old version of CMake that is already installed

Apt-get Autoremove CMake

Then download:

Cd/usr

Wget

Extract:

Tar zxvf cmake-2.8.9-linux-i386.tar.gz

OK, take a look at the extracted directory structure:

# tree -l  2  
.   
├── bin  
│   ├── ccmake  
│   ├── cmake  
│   ├── cmake-gui  
│   ├──  cpack  
│   └── ctest

│   └── cmake-2.8

11 directories, 5 files

Under the bin there are various CMake family product procedures, Cpack also have. Very well, the next project is going to need it.

Now create the link:

Ln-s/usr/cmake-2.8.9-linux-i386/bin/*/usr/bin/

Ln-s/usr/cmake-2.8.9-linux-i386/bin/*/usr/bin/

Then perform a command check:

# CMake--version
CMake version 2.8.9

# cmake--version cmake version 2.8.9

Ok. The latest version of CMake is now installed successfully.
