Trouble installing digikam -4.11.0

[Bumpalot]

From the Info in folder README LOCAL:

This procedure is based on the boostrap script boostrap.local

My Downloads location:
~/Downloads/digikam-4.11.0$ dir
bootstrap.linux build COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS doc gits project
bootstrap.local cmake COPYING.DOC doc-translated gitup README
bootstrap.macports CMakeLists.txt COPYING.LIB download-repos NEWS README.LOCAL
bootstrap.msvc.bat COPYING core

1. Set the root directory for your git install in boostrap.local (MYROOT variable) ??
2. If you want a clean build directory, set CLEANROOT to 1 (?)
3. Type the following command in your terminal:
$ ./boostrap.local (?? no such directory)
$ cd build (that exists)
...........
$ make (make: /usr/bin/cmake: Command not found ?)
Makefile:3620: recipe for target 'cmake_check_build_system' failed
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 127

The rest I have not got to:
$ make install
$ mkdir -p /your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER
$ KDEDIRS="/your/root/directory/" KDESYCOCA="/your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca4" kbuildsycoca4

Question: Is there a better script than this?? OR suggestions on fixing the above script would be most welcome!

WHat have you downloaded, and from where? What version of Kubuntu? Are you trying to build and install a "local" copy of digikam, ie having two different versions installed at the same time? That is what the instructions in the readme.local file are describing.

Why do you want to compile a previous, older version of digikam, when there are more recent versions available to install in all recent Kubuntu versions?

Am using kubuntu 15.04
Was not trying to build and install a "local" copy of digikam.
Please advise where I can find a more current version of digikam.

Look here for the ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa[emoji14]hilip5/extra
This Will add the ppa to your system. Then you update as normal, which will show updates to digikam and its dependencies,

Argh that should be ppa[colon]philip5/extra
