This is not correct, actually, install_deps.sh script does install/build missing dependencies for you, even on pretty old distributions.
We could (as suggested by Campbell this afternoon) do that for CMake as well (build newer one in install_deps.sh if needed), but this is a bit a different case, user would not be able to use `cmake` directly from commandline, they’d have to remember the path to the built cmake, would likely lead to a bunch of complains...
