I went through the installation process for DAMASK and have it running on my computer. However, I used WSL. I am listing my prerequisite installation steps here. I am not sure whether it will help you or not. If you need the whole installation guide for WSL, please let me know.
#cmake
sudo mkdir /opt/cmake
cd /opt/cmake
cd ~
sudo ln -s /opt/cmake/bin/cmake /usr/local/bin/cmake
Check cmake Installation:
cmake --version
# MPI
1.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nschloe/petsc-backports
2.sudo apt-get install gfortran g++ gcc
#install prerequisite
3. May need installing python-pip for the next three steps
4.pip2 install vtk
5.pip2 install scipy # includes numpy
6.pip2 install h5py
