some pipelines fail with this error "bash: cmake: command not found"

[Tashif Bashir]

Trying to use cmake in my yml to build & analyse a project but can't figure out what is  wrong. It keeps showing the same error even afte¶ installing cmake manually with "- apt-get update && apt-get install -y cmake"

Hi @Tashif Bashir 

That error message, as you have mentioned - will usually mean that cmake is not installed.

I would suggest after running the apt-get update command, you specifically test if cmake is installed properly by running a test command:

cmake --version

If the command fails, you will need to troubleshoot its installation or alternatively choose a build image that already includes cmake pre-installed.

Otherwise, if the command succeeds - please let me know.

Cheers!
