Is someone using debian buster? I can't generate project file

hi friends
I have downloaded, unzipped, created new cocos project all successfully, now i want to generate codeblocks project file using cmake, but when i write

cmake -G ‘CodeBlocks - Ninja’

I receive this error

Cmake was unable to find a build program corresponding to ninja

How can i solve it? Or what other ide should i use?

Thanks

Have you installed ninja?

I’m on Debian and Ubuntu

Not really, do i need to install Ninja-IDE even if want to code with Codeblocks?..

Anyway, Ninja IDE looks funny too…

Not ninja-IDE, ninja-build: https://ninja-build.org

Well yes, i have downloaded the binary, the only file called ninja don’t know what to do with that, i have tried copying into my project folder but still i get the error:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to “Ninja”. CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

What to do?
thanks.

You need to put it in your PATH

And just do this:

sudo  apt-get install ninja-build

Thanks. looks like we got a bit far… :
