# From: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2013-February/053649.html

# This will create a directory named "Support" in your home folder, download
# and extract CMake 2.8.10. Finally it invokes cmake with the "-version"
# param to check that cmake run.

 cd && mkdir Support && cd Support && \
 wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz && \
 tar -xzvf cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz && \
./cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386/bin/cmake -version

# You can then create symlinks into your /usr/local/bin folder to ensure you
# could simply call cmake, ctest, ...  without having to specify the full
# path.
