I am following Ethereum Book, but I am getting errors in the Terminal

Question

I am learning Ethereum Development from the Ethereum Book by Andreas. I have stumbled on the first error trying to do $ cargo install . I will post the instructions as an image and the errors I got.

When I try $ cargo install it first gave me a warning which is will also display below

The command does some compiling and then gives me the following error

I cant really proceed since all the other commands that follow are nolonger working. Please assist if there is anything I did wrong. I am really new to this. I am not a pro-developer but working towards becoming a solidity dev.

I will really appreciate your help

When working with rust/cargo, make sure you have the dependencies installed. You can see your error even makes the suggestion:
is 'cmake' not installed?

Rust generally gives good tips as to what's going on. Be sure to read the full error as well next time.
You can either try running:
brew install cmake or check the download page:  https://cmake.org/install/

You need to install cmake.
Try running the following to install parity dependencies:

apt-get install build-essential cmake libudev-dev
