Install Basic Tools and Dependencies

First, update your package manager and install essential tools required for building and managing software projects:

sudo apt-get update -y && apt-get -y install git wget make python3 
sudo apt-get update -y && apt-get -y install zip unzip python-is-python3

Install CMake

Download and install CMake version 3.26. CMake is vital for configuring, generating, and managing build processes in a platform-independent manner:

wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.26.0-rc4/cmake-3.26.0-rc4-linux-x86_64.sh
sudo bash ./cmake-3.26.0-rc4-linux-x86_64.sh --skip-license --exclude-subdir --prefix=/usr/local

Install Ninja Build

Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed, which CMake can utilize to manage builds:

sudo apt-get install ninja-build

Install the ARM Compiler

Download ARM Compiler 6.19 from ARM_Compiler_for_linux

sudo mkdir -p /home/temp
sudo tar -xzf ARMCompiler6.19_standalone_linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /home/temp
cd /home/temp
sudo ./install_x86_64.sh --i-agree-to-the-contained-eula --no-interactive -d /home/arm_compiler/
export PATH=$PATH:/home/arm_compiler/bin
export ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE="<path_to_license_file>"

Debug Steps
