<div>That saved a lot of time! A couple of dummy questions. In /var/www/midas/modules there is already a pvw directory. So where am I supposed to create the symbolic link to $PARAVIEW_ROOT/lib/paraview-4.0/www?</div></div>

<div>Also, just because I'm kind of dense, do I need to set the DISPLAY environment variable. The pop-up help says "If the DISPLAY env var should be set…" I don't know if it should be.</div></div></blockquote>
<div>It depends what environment you are running in. If you plan on running this headlessly as a server, you will probably need to set the environment variable. If you are running the server within an already existing X environment, you probably won't need to set it. If you open a terminal and type</div>

<div>You'll need to build Paraview Web from Source or download binaries. It comes with paraview, so you should be able to follow the instructions stemming from this wiki page:</div>

<div>Hello Midas World,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm trying to build an instance of Midas with ParaviewWeb enabled. I'm working on an Ubuntu 12.04 instance. Midas built fine, but I'm having a difficult time getting Paraview to build. Just curious if the paraview-python package that is available in the
ubuntu distribution is sufficient for this purpose? If it is, curious about the details of the configuration for the instructions: "Make sure to symlink the www directory of your ParView build directory…"</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm suspicious of the package since when I try to run pvpython I get an error:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"Error converting executable file "/usr/bin/../lib/paraview/pvpython" to real path: no such file or directory"</div>
