Like if I cd into the CMake bin directory and then add the relative path to the current directory to the PATH.

Would it be okay to add the relative path to the current directory to the PATH variable if I don't know the exact path?  Or would that not be a good idea?

apt-get is only required when installing packages provided by the
package manager.  It has nothing to do with installing archives you
