Installing cmake with home-brew

问题:

I'm new to programming. Can you please help me install cmake? I typed brew install cmake. What next?

回答1:

Typing brew install cmake as you did installs cmake. Now you can type cmake and use it.

If typing cmake doesn’t work make sure /usr/local/bin is your PATH. You can see it with echo $PATH. If you don’t see /usr/local/bin in it add the following to your ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then reload your shell session and try again.

(all the above assumes Homebrew is installed in its default location, /usr/local. If not you’ll have to replace /usr/local with $(brew --prefix) in the export line)

1. Download the latest CMake Mac binary distribution here: https://cmake.org/download/ (current latest is: https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.1-Darwin-x86_64.dmg)

2. Double click the downloaded .dmg file to install it. In the window that pops up, drag the CMake icon into the Application folder.

3. Add this line to your .bashrc file: PATH="/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin":"$PATH"

4. Reload your .bashrc file: source ~/.bashrc

5. Verify the latest cmake version is installed: cmake --version

6. You can launch the CMake GUI by clicking on LaunchPad and typing cmake. Click on the CMake icon that appears.
