Note that if you used an MPI implementation other than Open MPI, then the library names may be different (e.g. It is handy to set an environment variable with the location of your built MPI libraries. If you are building on Linux, then the cmake path in the example below will be different.
#Paraview superbuild movie#
You should probably have ffmpeg installed anyway, because the movie files produced by ParaView may need re-encoding to display properly in HTML5 or your on iPad.Ĭmake likes "out of source" builds, so we make a build directory. Note that if you want to make animation files directly in ParaView, you need to have ffmpeg installed in your system. We should now have the necessary pieces to build ParaView. For another platform, you may need to build form source. Tar xvzf cmake-3.4.0-rc1-Darwin-x86_64.tar.govįor the Mac, this tar file has the necessary binary. For example, on my Mac I do, cd /path/to/development/paraview Download the file appropriate for your platform. See to download it (note that cmake is written by Kitware too!). You need a late verison of cmake to build ParaView. You will need it if you ever run mpiexec or similar. Remember the location of the installation directory. # Open MPI is installed in /path/to/development/paraview/openmpi configure -prefix=/path/to/development/paraview/openmpi Tar xvzf openmpi-1.10.0.tar.gz # Makes openmpi-1.10.0 directory Here's how I download and build Open MPI (using openmpi-1.10.0) on my Mac. If you are on a machine with infiniband interconnects, you may want to use the MPICH implementation. You will also need an installation of MPI. You need to install Qt v4 (4.7.0 or later, but not v5) on your system. pull), then do cd /path/to/development/paraview/ParaView If you need to update the repository (e.g. # Your source code will be in /path/to/development/paraview/ParaView
A summary is, cd /path/to/development/paraview
#Paraview superbuild how to#
See for information on how to git clone the ParaView repository. This version is no longer the latest and so we'll explicitly check out version 4.4 below. The instructions here are to build ParaView 4.4. Otherwise, you should definitely use the pre-compiled binaries as described in Obtaining ParaView. A build from source will be required if you want to have a special non-default build option turned on or off, build against a different Open MPI library, or want the latest changes in ParaView from git. While binaries of the ParaView application are available at, you may find that you need to build ParaView from source yourself.
