Colcon building turtlesim failed
Hi!
I am following the ROS2 tutorials and got stuck on this page. Whenever I try to run the command:
colcon build --merge-install
I get the error:
Starting >>> turtlesim
--- stderr: turtlesim
Traceback (most recent call last):

Could not find 'cmake' executable
I have cmake installed, but it is not in the default directory, could this be the problem? I tried searching online but couldn't find any answers, if anyone could help me solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated!
