'Gradle : How to automatically install CMake

I am working on an Android native project which builds using CMake. In my build.gradle I specify :

if(project.hasProperty("native")) {
        externalNativeBuild {
            cmake {
                path file('jni/CMakeLists.txt')
                version '3.18.1+'
            }

        }
    }

I want to invoke externalNativeBuild task from command-line only on an automated build server. However I am getting this error:

CMake '3.18.1' or higher was not found in SDK, PATH, or by cmake.dir property.

When I build it inside Android Studio normally, It downloads and install CMake but it is not happening from command-line. Is there a way to do it from command-line?

Android studio will automatically create a local.properties file which contains the cmake.dir property.

When you build on the build server, it's more than likely that you your source doesn't have a local.properties file as that file is not normally checked into code repositories. You'll either need to create this file or modify the PATH environment variable to include the cmake binary. This of course presumes that you have CMake installed on the build server. You can do this manually with a .zip/.tarball or if you have access to the SDK on the build server, you can install with the build tools -> How to install Android SDK Build Tools on the command line?
