4.1 'make install' does not install ffmpeg and other libraries as it did with 3.14.1 and earlier.4.2 How do I generate a distributable ParaView package?.4.3 Do I need BUILD_SHARED_LIBS set to be ON if I want to enable Python scripting?.This page has been replaced by build documentation in the paraview repository. However it still contains more details and options that may be useful in specific cases. This page has been updated for ParaView 5.3, and is applicable for ParaView 5.0 and above. For ParaView 3.98 to 4.4 please refer to the past version of this document. For ParaView 3.14.1 and earlier versions, refer to the past version of this document. This page describes how to build and install ParaView. It covers both the released and the development versions, both Unix-type systems (Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Mac), as well as Windows. ParaView depends on several open source tools and libraries such as Python, Qt, CGNS, HDF5, etc. Some of these are included in the ParaView source itself (e.g. HDF5), while others are expected to be present on the machine on which ParaView is being built (e.g. The ParaView build process requires CMake version 3.3 or higher and a working compiler.To build ParaView source itself by providing existing installations/builds of the external dependencies, typical for plugin developers and users, use the instructions on this page.To build ParaView complete with all the dependencies it needs, use the ParaView Super-Build instructions.Based on whether you want to build ParaView along with all the external tools it needs or you want to build the external tools yourself (or use versions already available on your system), there are two ways to build ParaView from source. Building ParaView's user interface requires Qt, official version is 5.9, minimum version is 5.6.On Unix-like operating systems, it also requires Make, while on Windows it requires Visual Studio (2008 prior is supported, though 2013 or 2015 is recommended). To compile ParaView, either the LGPL or commercial versions of Qt may be used. In order to use scripting, Python is required (version 2.7.13 is known to work, as well as python 3.6.In order to run ParaView in parallel, MPI ( for windows) is also required.ParaView cannot be built with Qt4 anymore. Also note, for Windows builds, unix-like environments such as Cygwin, MinGW are not supported.ĬMake is a tool that makes cross-platform building simple.Make sure to install the right version for your compiler).

On several systems it will probably be already installed.
