[Midas] ParaView Web support for Midas

[BRIAN E CHAPMAN]

Patrick,

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?

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.

Finally, is there a tutorial or demo for the Midas/ParaView interface?

Thanks for the help.

Brian

Brian,

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:

Hello Midas World,

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…"

I'm suspicious of the package since when I try to run pvpython I get an error:

"Error converting executable file "/usr/bin/../lib/paraview/pvpython" to real path: no such file or directory"
