> So, what you should do:
> 1/ get the paraview tarball from the paraview website:
>
>    wget http://www.paraview.org/files/**v3.12/ParaView-3.12.0-RC2-**
> Linux-i686.tar.gz<http://www.paraview.org/files/v3.12/ParaView-3.12.0-RC2-Linux-i686.tar.gz>
>
> Untargz it:
>
>    tar zxvf ParaView-3.12.0-RC2-Linux-**i686.tar.gz
>
> There should be a README file, and/or an INSTALL file: read them, obey to
> the instructions. And it should be fine.
>
>
> 2/ ask your distro maintainers and/or paraview developers to package
> paraview for your distro; this should not be too difficult, I guess, since
> it is already packaged for a number of distro, including debian.
> In the long term, this will allow paraview to be installed and updated
> automagically on your distro.
