Installation of CMake

The CMake is a cross-platform build tool. In order to build the SALMON from the source code, the CMake of version 3.0.2 or later is required.

Installation of pre-compiled binary

You can get the binary distribution from the download page. First, move to the directory that you installed SALMON,

cd <SALMON_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY>

and download the binary distribution ( cmake-<VERSION>-<PLATFORM>.tar.gz) appropriate for your platform. You can do it by copy the URL of download link from the browser, and use wget command:

wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

In this document, we will use version 3.8.2 as an example. You can unpack the downloaded archive

tar -zxvf cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

and you will have the binary make-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64/bin/cmake.

Next, to utilize the cmake command, it is required that the executable are settled inside the directory specified in your $PATH. If you use the bash shell, you edit ~/.bashrc and append the line:

export PATH=<SALMON_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY>/cmake-3.8.2-Linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH

and reload the configuration:

source ~/.bashrc

Installation by package manager

For several UNIX/Linux environment, your system already has the built-in package manager. and it will provide the most convenient way to install the cmake tools as below:

Debian/Ubuntu Linux

sudo apt-get install cmake

Fedora Linux/CentOS

sudo yum install cmake

openSUSE Linux

sudo zypper install cmake

Installation from source code

You can get the source code distribution from the download page. In this time, we will use the cmake version 3.8.2 as an example. Download the archive by wget comamnd and unpack it as below:

wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf cmake-3.8.2.tar.gz

And, move to the unpacked directory and build.

 
cd cmake-3.8.2
./configure --prefix=INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY
make
make install

(replace INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY to your installation directory.)

To utilize the cmake command, the executable are settled inside the directory specified in your $PATH.

If you use the bash shell, you edit ~/.bashrc and append the line:

export PATH=INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/bin:$PATH

, and reload the configuration source ~/.bashrc.
