[vtk-developers] Script to extract the external data into actual files?

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi;

That is a very good question and we should document this process.
Just go there and search for your file :
https://data.kitware.com/

Alternatively, you can use the attached script this way :
./wgetVTKData.sh /path/to/VTK/sources/ file

it is just a one liner that does
wget https://www.paraview.org/files/ExternalData/SHA512/`cat
$1/Testing/Data/$2.sha512` -O $2

Best regards,


Mathieu Westphal
