<div>Hi guys</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I managed to compile VTK on windows using tcl and java. I am trying it on Linux, and I am a beginner in linux so shifting from windows to linux is really very challenging for me rite now, but I have to submit the project running on linux. Anyway coming back to my question, how do I install Cmake on linux, I went through several articles on the net, but I keep getting errors. This is what I have done so far,
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>a) I unzipped the VTK file into directory named VTK, the files are there</div>
<div>b) I unzipped the Cmake file into directory named cmakelinux, the folders that exist are "bin", 'doc", "man" and "share"</div>
<div>c) I found this article to install
<p>There are several possible approaches for building CMake from a source tree:<br><br>a) If there is no existing CMake installation, a bootstrap script is provided:</p></div><pre> ./bootstrap
make
make install</pre>
<p>(Note: the make install step is optional, cmake will run from the build directory.)<br><br></p>
<p>b) An existing CMake installation can be used to build a new version:</p><pre> cmake .
make
make install</pre>
<p>(Note: the make install step is optional, cmake will run from the build directory.)<br></p>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I used the (a) version but I keep getting "-bash: ./bootstrap: No such file or directory", </div>
<div>and when I used the (b) version "-bash: cmake: command not found" - I have tried running it from cmakelinux/bin and cmakelinux, and some errors said that the makefile file cant be found, where can I get this.

<div>I have set the path using this command, "<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><font face="Courier New">export PATH=/path/to/cmakelinux/bin:$PATH".
