[@afvallejos]

Worked perfectly for the 5.10.0 version on Ubuntu 20.04.3, Cheers!

[@nicolasnunezsandoval4609]

Worked too for ParaView 5.10.1 version on Elementary OS 6.1.

[@momosh59]

I reallllly like the way that you explain. Audiences DO matter for you. Via a knowledgeable method, without any ego, the whole video is well-explained from A-Z. It has been 6 months that I am struggling with Linux stuff from time to time. Your video is one of the best ones that I have every watched. "SUBSCRIBED" :))) Thnx

[@DDFluids]

Thanks :)

[@larissapinheiro8236]

This is so great! Thank you for this video. Reproducing some comments below: there is a typo in 12:28, correct Ayatana for Ayanata.

[@roshankalavakuri6420]

This was really helpful as a new user. Thank you for your slow and clear steps.

[@MrTariq4me]

I have just followed your steps and installed paraview 5.10.1. It was very helpful. Thank you.

[@beccasedlak5183]

Thanks for this! Worked with ParaView 5.10.1 on Centos 7 even without sudo permission (I did use slightly different locations for my install).

[@vardaelentari1439]

Worked with ParaView 5.11. Thank you!

[@steinanderson9849]

any tips on installing ParaView 5.10 on WSL2 Ubuntu?

[@BTERVVNBA]

This was extremely helpful! I am new to Ubuntu and terminal commands so this was really nice and slowly explained.

[@anasmuhamadpauzi5750]

Thank you for the tutorial, it works, except for the no icon picture in the shortcut

[@divyeshvariya6533]

At 12:00, there is one line for "Icon=/opt/ParaView-5.9/........" Correct that path and It will show icon.

[@alessandrobeninati8018]

@@divyeshvariya6533 i did correct such path but the icon is still not showing in the shortcut

[@jaskaransingh3200]

@@alessandrobeninati8018 in the video at 12:00 the path is right, but when he copies the path to that paraview.desktop file, there the path is wrong. change the path to what u had chosen the name for paraview in the ~/opt

[@stevenrendon8079]

Thank you for this tutorial ! It was concise and extremely clear !

[@yunhao5429]

Hi may I ask why there's no shortcut icon on the left task bar? I'm trying to install version 5.11 on ubuntu 20.04.

[@이민술학생대학원기계]

Thank you for your kind explanation! :) It is really helpful.

[@ArianeNoseda]

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful. I installed Paraview-5.11 on Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked great, except I had an issue with launching paraview from the terminal. I could only use the icon. Then I found out that openfoam-10 has its own bashrc file in the /opt/openfoam10/etc/ directory. I looked at it and found a solution : just add a line in my .bashrc file giving the path to the new paraview libraries. In my case it was : alias paraview511='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/ParaView-5.11/lib/mesa/ paraview511' Then source the .bashrc. Just in case somebody needs the tip.

[@evazhang3232]

I am doing it right now. 5.11 on Ubuntu. Thank you for the tips.

[@kanchanasubhash146]

What is that "Then source the .bashrc. Do we need write this line also?

[@idreeskhan-zp5ey]

Can I follow the same procedure to install ParaView on Fedora 38?

[@muhammadsohaib681]

Thumbs up 👍 Weldone sir

[@xianguihuang5477]

hi, when I type the tar -xcvf ~... , it showed "you may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux', '--delete', or '--test-label' option ", what is this mean? thanks

[@atefefazel1329]

Thanks. I tried this for installing paraview5-11 , the icon was built but it did not open. I see this error: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: xcb. error: exception occurred: Subprocess aborted Do you know how can I fix it?

[@jiezhou9256]

sudo apt remove qtchooser sudo apt install libqt5gui5

[@singhsaagar11]

Hey! I am having the same issue, were you able to fix it?

[@omidnazempour4954]

following this instructions, the Paraview window open but closed automatically!! why?

[@akarshshetty9262]

Isnt it possible to open and view the mesh using OpenFOAM commands in WSL? Both the paraFoam and paraview commands aren't working..

[@divyeshvariya6533]

Install paraview externally in windows. I have already explained that in openfoam installation video tutorial. You can check that.

[@kendalmalone705]

hey, does it work without uninstalling the paraviewopenfoam56 at the beginning ?

[@DDFluids]

Yes

[@volkanatar4232]

Thanks it was really helpful

[@vishalkumar040393]

Very helpful. Thanks bhai.

[@James-sh4zf]

I get the errors "tar: -: Not found in archive" and "tar: C: Not found in archive" and "tar: /opt: Not found in archive" "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" Is it necessary to watch a previous video where you installed OpenFOAM in a specified directory?

[@James-sh4zf]

FFS looks like it! I got rid of /opy/ and now I have a locked folder in my Home page that I cannot get rid of

[@kothekarswaraj]

nice sudo apt install paraview also workes in hirsute hippo sudo apt install openfoam also workes but there is some issue when u type simpleFoam -help please help

[@DDFluids]

Sure. Please explain error in detail.

[@kothekarswaraj]

@@DDFluids ******@*******:~$ simpleFoam -help --> FOAM FATAL ERROR : Could not find mandatory etc entry (mode=ugo) 'controlDict' this is what I get when I type simpleFoam -help also, I have installed openfoam from ubuntu repositories & not from openfoam repositories

[@DDFluids]

You can type "foamVersion" to check which openfoam version you have installed.

[@jaskaransingh3200]

Do i need open foam first? edit: no need. if other stupids like me out there u can just begin the video from the downloading paraview file from official site

[@matthewdeva2956]

Why?

[@momosh59]

Hi again. I followed the same instructions for Paraview 5.10. However (12:56), when I search of the icon, the shown icon is blank and not the Paraview icon. Do you have any Ideas? ========================================== [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=ParaView 5.10 Exec=paraview Terminal=false Icon=opt/Paraview-5.10/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/paraview.png Type=Application x-Ayanata-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow [NewWindow Shortcut Group] Name=New Window Exec=paraview TargetEnvironment=Unity

[@DDFluids]

At the same time step, check location of the icon. I guess you need to replace "ParaView" with "ParaView-5/10"

[@GattiFabricio]

Did you solve this problem?

[@Fernando55524]

Give the full path of the paraview; e.g., Exec=/opt/Paraview-5.11/bin/paraview and also correct the typo Ayanata for Ayatana It worked for me after I made the first change

[@jiezhou9256]

so, first, you need to correct two typos in your text, and second you will need to reboot to make it happen
