There are two main ways to install VTK - 1) as part of Paraview or 2) stand alone. In the following instructions, I've built Paraview and VTK has been installed as part of that process. I have built paraview in '/home/doriad/bin/ParaView3'
To run a vtk python script, simply type:
python script.py
If you receive this error:
ImportError: No module named vtk
add the following line to ~/.bashrc
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView3/VTK/Wrapping/Python/:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView3/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk
Try to run the script again. If you get something like this:
ImportError: libvtkCommonPythonD.so.pv3.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Add the following to ~/.bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView3/bin
