biocmake

biocmake manages the installation of CMake for building Bioconductor packages, avoiding the need for manual system-level CMake installation when a suitable version is not already available.

Key Features:

• Automated CMake Installation: Manages CMake installation automatically when no suitable version exists on the system.
• System Compatibility Check: Takes no action if a suitable version of CMake is already available on the user's system.

Scientific Applications:

• Bioconductor Package Building: Enables compilation and building of Bioconductor packages that require CMake as a build dependency.

Methodology:

The tool checks for a suitable existing CMake installation and installs CMake only when needed.
