Well, there's indeed a line with "cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.25)", but 
I'm not sure that this requirement is really needed. It may work with cmake 
3.22.

Could you remove this line and retry with Ubuntu's cmake ?

This should be enough and will follow changes in Pan dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep pan 

That said, I'm not thrilled at the idea of documenting distro specific build 
steps because there's a lot of distributions that may need specific docs.

I don't really recommend using sudo to install, unless you absolutely trust 
the software you're installing. Even then, installing from source is 
experimental and may wreak your system if I made a mistake in the cmake files. 
You should change the mode (or ACLs) of /usr/local to allow you to install 
there. This will limit the blast radius if there's a problem with install.
