# CMake Dev Container Feature

🍰 Installs the CMake build tool



  



> CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build,

> test and package software. CMake 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.

— [CMake](https://cmake.org/)

This Dev Container Feature will install CMake using the official installer `.sh`

script into the `/usr/local` folder. This should place it on your `$PATH` no

problem! 🚀 It also installs the [CMake VS Code extension].
