In this tutorial we learn how to install cmake on Fedora 36.
What is cmake
CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated to support complex environments requiring system configuration, preprocessor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.
We can use yum or dnf to install cmake on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install cmake.
