Is there a way to tell conan to use different cmake executable durning conan install?

Question

When I install dependencies using conan install --build=missing conan executes cmake executable to build them if they are missing. But if I have two different versions of cmake installed in the system, cmake and cmake3, what can I do to force conan to use cmake3 binary?

I've figured it out. You can set an environment variable CONAN_CMAKE_PROGRAM to tell conan to use different cmake executable.
