I installed CMake literally two days ago with no problems through the GUI and selecting "Install Command Line Tools". I just got a brand new Macbook and trying to install CMake again but the option has changed to "How to Install Command Line Tools" and just crashes the app when clicked
Is there a reason it has changed? Is there another way to install the command line tools?
To install CMake, simply type “brew install cmake” in the terminal. Once you have installed CMake, type “cmake” in your terminal to check if it's installed. To compile example.
As of version 3.9.4, the "How to Install Command Line Tools" says:
One may add CMake to the PATH:
PATH="/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin":"$PATH"
Or, to install symlinks to '/usr/local/bin', run:
sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install
Or, to install symlinks to another directory, run:
sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install=/path/to/bin
The middle option worked perfectly for what I needed: installing an older version of Swift using swiftenv.
