CMake Python Distributions
==========================

`CMake <https://cmake.org>`_ is used to control the software compilation
process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files,
and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the
compiler environment of your choice.

The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need
for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects
such as ITK and VTK.

The CMake python wheels provide `CMake 4.4.3 <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v4.4/index.html>`_.

Installation
------------

.. code:: console

    pip install cmake

The ``cmake``, ``ccmake``, ``cpack``, and ``ctest`` executables are then
available on ``PATH`` (``ccmake`` is not included on Windows). The package is
also commonly used as a build-time dependency, for example in a
``pyproject.toml`` ``build-system.requires`` list.
