Those are prebuilt binaries.  You don't need to build anything.
You can run `bin/cmake` right out of the extracted tree.

If you prefer to build from source you can download
`cmake-3.5.2.tar.gz` from the download page where you
got the binaries.  There is a README.rst file that explains
how to build: `./bootstrap && make && make install`.
