I am not used to tarballs and cannot do the README

Asked by Michael Andrew Skinner

I unpacked the tar file and tried to do the README but it fails on the first command - cmake etc. Can anyone enlighten me?
cmake is a directory. I made the directory build and obviously the path is not there so how can you run the commands from there?
$ mkdir build
$ cd build/
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ ./src/scratch-text-editor

What is the full text of the error message that you receive?
If it tells that the command cmake is not known, then you most probably have to install the cmake package first.

Can you help with this problem?
