[Paraview] Installing Paraview on Ubuntu 10.10

[Aston Martin]

I have tried this already and got this message

The program 'paraview' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install paraview

and if you do this you get the old version

Hi Aston,

OK. Use command to extract the package into where you want to put ParaView in, for example /opt/ as follows

tar xzvf ParaView-3.10.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt/

Then you can execute /opt/ParaView-3.10.0-Linux-x86_64/bin/paraview to launch ParaView. For convenience, you can also put a symbolic link of this paraview to wherever you would like to.


Good luck :)

Best regards,
Wayne

thanks Wayne
this is exactly what I did

but it installed an older version (3.8.2)

I'm asking how to install it from the downloaded binary without using apt-get

thanks,
Aston

Hello Aston,

Download the latest package and unpack to anywhere you want, then it is okay to use.

Although this is an old post, http://code-saturne.blogspot.com/2009/07/installation-of-paraview-361-on-ubuntu.html, hope it helps.



Good luck :)
