Correct cmake version not detected, unable to install ANTs

I am running a git code in Jupyter, in Conda on my Windows 10 machine.

This has a ANTs dependency. I followed this tutorial.

on which I realized ANTs needs a cmake version of 3.10 or higher.

On my Ubuntu WSL on my Windows 10, I have installed cmake version 3.14.0-rc1 following instructions here. What is rc1? Is that causing the problem? I did not find any non-rc1 in here

LAB-005:~/bin/ants/cmake-3.14.0-rc1$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.14.0-rc1

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
LAB-005:

So looks like cmake is good.

I go back to this bit

cd ~/bin/ants
ccmake ~/code/ANTs

and when I hit c on this screen, enter image description here

I see this: enter image description here

I'm frustrated. Spent too much time on this uninstalling, reinstalling. Please help me.

Solution

  • So, I fixed it.

    I tried running cmake gui and it did not work.

    My cmake and ccmake versions were different like so:

    $ cmake --version
cmake version 3.14.0-rc1
$ ccmake --version
ccmake version 3.5.1

    1. Uninstall cmake

    sudo make uninstall

    2. Check 

    cmake --version
ccmake --version
which cmake
which ccmake

    3. Download binary 3.13.4

    wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.13/cmake-3.13.4.tar.gz

    4.Unzip

    tar -xvzf cmake-3.13.4.tar.gz

    5. Enter unzipped directory

    cd cmake-3.13.4/

    6. Configure

    ./configure

    7. Install something called checkinstall (only this method worked for me)

    sudo apt-get install checkinstall

    8. Run it

    sudo checkinstall

    9. Check

    $ which cmake ccmake & cmake --version && ccmake --version
/usr/local/bin/cmake
/usr/local/bin/ccmake
cmake version 3.13.4
ccmake version 3.13.4

    1. Go back to ANTs installation

      ccmake ~/code/ANTs (hit c)
