How Do I install ZeroMQ on a Ubuntu 14.04.4 x64 droplet ?
Tried installing git and cmake via apt-get and the followed http://zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software trying to install using cmake
I get the following error: CMake Error: The source directory “<directory>” does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
If I’m going about the correctly, what should be my current directory when installing??

It looks like the docs are missing a step. After cloning the repo, you’ll want to cd into the resulting directory and create cmake-build under it as CMakeLists.txt exists in the root of the repo.
- git clone https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq
- cd libzmq
- mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build
- cmake .. && make -j 4
- make test && make install && sudo ldconfig
a stab in the dark, but looks like according the manual compilation instructions that you linked to, it asks to go one directory down to a directory called
cmake-buildand then do a cmake on the prior directory up withcmake .. && make -j 4So, it seems like you are supposed to go into
cmake-build, and then run the cmake from there. I don’t know your level of Linux expertise, but I think it might be worth mentioning thatcmake ..should be directingcmaketo run on the files in the directory one level back up.This comment has been deleted
