So we are at the first library of our Ubertooth setup. I chose Kali because it has a bunch of the stuff we need already installed. Unfortunately not all of it. So next up to install is CMake.
For those that are curious, CMake is a cross platform compiler. It is an open source project for those that are interested in such things. From what I have seen personally, it is really popular with the Linux crowd though I have seen it used on a very occasional basis in Windows. We use it here because the libraries we are using for Ubertooth will need to be compiled.
I have never built a project with it because I am a Microsoft stack person so I pretty much use Visual Studio so Roslyn is pretty much my date to the compiler prom.
Let’s dig into it.
Cmake Install
First open the terminal from the desktop. If you don’t know how click here. It one of the first steps with pictures and everything.
After that, you have a screen like this.
In the terminal, type sudo apt-get install cmake .
You will get some good old fashion techo-babble from program then a confirmation request. Say “Y” or else.
After that you should get more technobabble and then the prompt should return.
That is it. It was not that hard was it. A nice short post for a nice short topic.
On a completely different topic, I want to apologize for leaving you hanging so long. I got business with the project that actually cause all this work. There is a bunch of great content based around this coming up so keep checking back. We have some Arduino content planned. I bet it now makes sense why I started studying C++ back a few months ago. This Bluetooth sniffer is just one part of a much bigger project. I will provide posts on each part as my NDA allows. These will be over the struggles and victories this project will have.
