cmake --version
If it's installed, you will get a line that says something similar to

+ "cmake version 2.8.12.2". If the version is less than 2.4 or you get
an error saying the command was not found, you will not be able to use
CMake unless you install it yourself into your home directory. CMake
can be downloaded from:

- If you are unable to install CMake yourself (either due to lack of space
- or restrictions by your hosting provider), you still have the alternative
- to use the provided configure script. This option is not recommended and
- will eventually be phased out, but is provided for compatibility for those
- lacking CMake.

Next, unpack the package in your home directory, and go into the created
directory.
