cmake update, version not found

I want to update my cmake to a specific version, but the version is not recognised. I am currently running 2.8.7 and want to upgrade to 2.8.11. (I also tried updating to the latest version, 3.3.1, but got the same result as below).

   cd /usr/bin
   sudo apt-get install cmake=2.8.11
[sudo] password: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Version ‘2.8.11’ for ‘cmake’ was not found

I tried updating while in pwd=/usr/bin, following a previous suggestion, but it didn't help.

I suppose I can download from source, but I want to know what's wrong with my current approach.

(By the way, 2.8.11 is the minimum requirement to install the speedcrunch calculator >> https://bitbucket.org/heldercorreia/speedcrunch/ )

I assume that you have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Please try to add the following ppa and do the update like that:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smspillaz/cmake-2.8.12
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake

And check the version with:

cmake --version

Hope that helps.

apt-cache show cmake will show you which versions are available for install on your system.

If the desired version is not available, check sites like packages.debian.org packages.ubuntu.org if the version is available in a newer version of your distro.
