In the following instructions, the CMake download page is http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html.

• openSUSE Linux

  sudo zypper install cmake cmake-gui
  

• Gentoo Linux

  sudo emerge cmake
  

• OpenSolaris

  pfexec pkgadd install SUNWcmake
  

• Windows

  To download and install the latest distribution from the CMake download page, download the installer .exe file and run it.

• Mac OS X

  To download and install the latest distribution from the CMake download page, download the .dmg image and open it. Alternatively, if you have Darwinports installed, you can install the CMake port:

  port install cmake +gui
  

  The +gui variant causes cmake-gui to be installed as well. Omit +gui if you do not want to install cmake-gui.

• Other Unix systems

  Precompiled packages for other Unix flavors (HPUX, AIX) are available from the CMake download page.

  Alternatively, you can build CMake from source. A source package is available from the download page.
