How to install cmake on Windows 64 bit

Question

The download page for cmake only shows a 32 bit installer for windows. Any idea how to install it on 64 windows systems.

Solution 1

There is really no reason for a 64bit native CMake. CMake is only building the configuration, so you can use it to build configurations for 64bit software, even with the 32bit version.

That being said, if you truly want a 64bit native version, you could always download the source and compile it. There is no 64bit installer, however.

Solution 2

The 32 bit version works perfectly even on 64 bit Windows. I've used it, and it works.

EDIT: It looks like CMake is now available in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Just go to their website and you can get the 64-bit version.

Solution 3

A 64-bit Windows installer is now available from the download page: https://cmake.org/download
