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

[Osman Zakir]

I thought I'd already said that I can't use sudo or anything else with root access privileges.  I want to deploy the Docker image to Heroku and Heroku doesn't run Docker images with root user access.

I'll forget about "apt-get", but I still want to put CMake into /usr/local/ somewhere without using root user access, if that's possible.

How do I find out in the Docker image where the CMake files were unpacked to so I can add that path to the PATH variable?  Since I used wget like with Boost, and Boost was installed in /usr/local/boost_1_68_0 (and Boost with its build tool was also installed /usr/local/ itself), it's possible that CMake's path is something similar.

No!
The .tar.gz is not a .deb package, it does not contain a .deb package.

You need to read about apt and .deb packages

Unpack the .tar.gz, that's it.
Optionally, copy somewhere you prefer in your Linux environment.

export PATH=/path/where/you/unpacked/cmaketarg/bin:$PATH


Alternatively,
iIf you stopped stubbornly trying the apt-get and
if you tried my suggestion

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

you would get CMake installed in the standard prefix /usr/local
with cmake executable deployed in /usr/local/bin/cmake
and having /usr/local/bin typically in PATH
you would get cmake in your PATH out of the box.

Just forget about using apt-get with the downloaded .tar.gz, forget it!
Or, learn about Debian packages, apt, etc. just not here!
