Excuse me, I’m new to this from CMAKE. I have installed it normally, but I cannot access the graphical interface. Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by this? “Normal” depends on platform and, to some extent, personal experience. Could you please be more specific?

I have installed CMAKE on my Raspberry pi 3B + with the command “sudo snap install cmake --classic”, but I cannot access the graphical interface.

I’m not familiar with the snap package; it might very well not provide the GUI. It sounds like a question for the snap distributor to me.

If I understand the build file from this repo: [GitHub - Crascit/cmake-snap: Builds the official CMake snap](https://github.com/Crascit/cmake-snap) correctly, you should have cmake-gui. Do you say it’s not there?

Do you mean this one? “sudo apt-get install git cmake make gcc g ++”  
I have also tried and I get this:

No, I mean just trying to run “cmake-gui” have you tried that?
