Where is the CMake install option in Android Studio 3.2.1?

Question

I am trying to install NDK in Android Studio 3.2.1 and I am following the procedure described here

It says I need to select LLDB, Cmake and NDK form the list in the SDK Manager,but I can only see LLDB and NDK in my computer, and CMake is absent

What do I need to do to install CMake and start coding using C? Or is installing just LLDB and NDK enough?

probably this will help https://github.com/russell-shizhen/JniExample — shizhen, Apr 15 '19 at 08:53
It should by default appear in your SDK Manager dialog as said in your inlined link. wasn't it there? — shizhen, Apr 15 '19 at 09:03

According to the docs on developer.android site:

Android Studio supports CMake, which is good for cross-platform projects, and ndk-build, which can be faster than CMake but only supports Android. Using both CMake and ndk-build in the same module is not currently supported.

You can only use one of the Cmake or NDK(as you see NDk is better but only developed for Android).

here is link of documentation for more info.

If you still have problem with installing cmake by sdk manager, make sure you are using 64 bit version of android studio.

for more information about how you can install Cmake or NDK you can see this answer

Then how do I get Cmake? – user13267 Apr 15 '19 at 08:58
When making a new project after installing installing NDK and LLDB, it gives the error "Failed to find CMake. Install CMake and sync project" – user13267 Apr 15 '19 at 08:59
@user13267 Check if you are using 64 bit version of Android Studio. In Android Studio 32 bit, cmake will not appear in sdk manager! – SamiAzar Apr 15 '19 at 09:22
looks like the NDK installation happened properly at least. Is there any way to instruct android studio to use ndk-build instead of cmake for compiling C code? – user13267 Apr 15 '19 at 09:30
