Configuring failed because of cmake version

[sqwwww]

hi，

I used “espresso-4.2.1.tar.gz” download from github. after I entered "cmake ..", it gave an error and exit. the error message is as following:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:22 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.16 or higher is required. You are running version 2.8.12.2

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Is there a way that I can cross the error and finish the Configuration?

I saw a file called "espresso-4.2.1.tar.gz.sig" in the release page, Is it an singularity container of espresso? Singularity container would be very convenient to use in my cluster.

Thanks

Hi,

Clusters typically provide more recent versions of CMake than the one installed in /usr/bin. Run module spider cmake to list them all. If none of them satisfy our requirements, you can install a newer version in your python environment with some variation of python3 -m pip install --user 'cmake>=3.24.2' (the quotes are important).

The .sig file is a GnuPG signature used to verify the authenticity of the tarball file.
