<p>One note: CMake is available with pip, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pypi.org/project/cmake/">https://pypi.org/project/cmake/</a></p>
<p>That makes it easy to install with system having python-pip,
which is very likely on a developer machine.</p>

Ubuntu distribution packages (19.04) are for tbb and z3 which
are not in the distribution anyway. I have had to install a
number of additional packages from the distribution, but this
is not the case under discussion.<br>
