[CMake] Installing CMake in Ubuntu Linux from command-line via wget

[Osman Zakir]

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?

Raymond, the web page explains how to build from sources.
That is the 3rd way of installing CMake.

1. apt-get install cmake
2. 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/

I can assure you the option 2. works perfectly

I use it daily to juggle CMake on number of Linux environments
