Either use a PPA or compile it yourself:
Installation by a PPA (Upgrade to 3.2)
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x sudo apt-get update
When cmake is not yet installed:
sudo apt-get install cmake
When cmake is already installed:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Compile it yourself
Currently, the latest version is 3.2.2, the following instructions based on this version. You should therefore check this URL and adjust the file name accordingly.
sudo apt-get install build-essential wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.2/cmake-3.2.2.tar.gz tar xf cmake-3.2.2.tar.gz cd cmake-3.2.2 ./configure make
Now you can have to choose an installation type to decide, I recommend installing with
checkinstall
, as this creates a DEB package.With
checkinstall
sudo apt-get install checkinstall sudo checkinstall
With
make install
sudo make install
