Change where I installed Cmake initially to usr/local/bin on mac

I am new to the computer and as I wanted to install Cmake instead of installing it in usr/bin or usr/local/bin I installed it in Users/Admin/Source! Could you help me to figure out how can I change its directory or do I have to uninstall it completely?!

To install Cmake I followed the steps here http://mac-dev-env.patrickbougie.com/cmake/, except the first line.

Thanks

If you successfully went through the steps in the link you provided, cmake is now installed in /usr/local/cmake/bin. (From what I understand you just did the download in another directory which is fine).

Since the tutorial also tells you to add this directory to your PATH it should be fine. i.e cmake should be accessible from anywhere after sourcing again your .bash_profile or simply opening a new terminal.

If for any other reason you need cmake to be in /usr/local/bin. you can create a symbolic link in this directory:

ln -s /usr/local/cmake/bin/cmake /usr/local/bin/cmake
