Hi Cory,

I am trying again to install paraview 5.3. I have downloaded it from the paraview webpage. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS; OS type 64-bit. Then I followed these steps:

tar xzvf ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit.tar.gz

sudo mv ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit /opt/

sudo emacs ~/.bashrc # and added the following lines:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin/
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView/Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/site-packages #fixes "no module named paraview" export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/doriad/bin/ParaView/bin #fixes "ImportError: No module named libvtkCommonPython" export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packagesexport PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3

Saved and exit

#Created the symbolic links

sudo ln -s /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/ /usr/bin/paraview

sudo ln -s /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/ /usr/lib/paraview

#Restarted the computer and then executed:

./paraview

And paraview opens and works fine.

# Execute the script I mentioned in previous emails:

./<the name of the script>

And the following error message appears:

Error: Could not import vtkCommonComputationalGeometry
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./<name of script>", line 42, in <module>
    from paraview.simple import *
File "/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/simple.py", line 43, in <module>

    from vtkCommonCorePython import *
ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython

Then I tried running it by using:

./pvpython <name of script>

And the error message is the following:

bash: ./pvpython: No such file or directory

I have also tried by using:

/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin/pvpython <name of script>

And the message is:

/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3/libgfortran.so.3:

My python version is (python --version) Python 2.7.12

My script starts with:
#!/usr/bin/python

-- and I also use --

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Really grateful,

I think you would be better off running your script with

./pvpython <name of script>

pvpython comes with the ParaView binary and is located in the same
directory as the 'paraview' executable. pvpython uses the same Python
as ParaView is, so compatibility with some local Python on your system
is not a problem. Further, pvpython sets up Python environment to
provide access to the ParaView and VTK Python modules without having
to set up any environment variables.

but I also tried with:
python3 <the name of the script>
python3 definitely won't work with the official ParaView binaries,
which are built against Python 2.7.

HTH,
Cory

Guillermo

P.S: With the version 5.0.1 installed and working fine (the script works) I
have searched the lib you mentioned to me but I do not have it.

2017-08-23 13:15 GMT-01:00 Cory Quammen <cory.quam...@kitware.com>:
The problem results when executing the python script from the Ubuntu's
terminal.
What command are you using to run the Python script?

Thanks,
Cory

Thank you very much.

ASAP I will try to install the v5.3 and I will let you know if I
encounter
any problem.

Cheers,

Guillermo

Guillermo,

I'm sorry that my suggestions didn't work out.

Could you try one last thing? Please run the following commands:

cd /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin
./paraview

That should work without problem. If it doesn't, we definitely have a
problem.

Cheers,
Cory

Hi Cory,

I have made a purge of paraview, reinstalled the 5.3 version, as I
indicated
on the first email, but the result is the same,  it does not work and
the
message is the same as in the beginning. Also, the libs you indicated to
me
are not present.

Actually, I really need to use this python script and I do not have too
much
time to spend on it, so I decided to downgrade to 5.0.1 version.

In a near future, 1-1.5 month, I will try it again, as I want to upgrade
to
a newer version. I will let you know if I experiment any issue.

Sorry for the inconveniences,

Really grateful,

Guillermo S.

Oops, I failed to change the version number in the line I gave you,
but caught that and corrected it, just not quite to the right version
number.

Try

export

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3

Basically, you have to set the PYTHONPATH to where the lib*Python.so
files are located. Make sure
/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3
exists and confirm that a file starting with libvtkCommonCorePython27
is there.

Stepping back a bit, you wouldn't have to do any of this PYTHONPATH
stuff if you just add

/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin

to your PATH.

HTH,
Cory

Guillermo,

Please CC the mailing list so others can participate and learn from
the discussion.

That looks like progress. Now try adding to your .bashrc:

export

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.4

HTH,

Hi Cory,

Thank you very much for your fast response. Unfortunately it didn't work
(I
just copied and pasted into the .bashrc the sentence you gave to me).
However, the new error message is:

I have searched around the Internet and I found a thread that I though
it
could help:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2014-February/030506.html

The idea is to use this:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH  your-install/lib/paraview-4.1:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

setenv PYTHONPATH your-install /lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages:
your-install
/lib/paraview-4.1: your-install /lib/paraview-4.1/site-packages/vtk

I copied and pasted this on my .bashrc file substituting the
corresponding
names, but it didn't work. :(

Any idea?

Really grateful,

Guillermo S.

Hi Guillermo,

I think the content in that wiki page is outdated.

Try setting PYTHONPATH to the following in your .bashrc

export


PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/python2.7/site-packages

See if that works and let us know,
Cory

Dear all,

Yesterday I installed paraview v5.3 using the binaries from the website
on my Linux (ubuntu) OS. The steps followed are (they my influence on
the
final result):

Download the binaries from http://www.paraview.org. For me this results
in: ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit.tar.gz
Extract and copy them:

tar xzvf -C /opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit.tar.gz
sudo emacs ~/.bashrc

then insert the following line, save & close

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin/

Then I created a symbolic link:

           sudo ln -s
/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/bin/paraview
/usr/bin/paraview

           sudo ln -s
/opt/ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-5.3/
/usr/lib/paraview-5.3

Before installing paraview from the binaries files I was using the
version from Ubuntu repositories (paraview version 5.0 [I think]). Also
I
was using a python script which uses paraview to take some snapshoots
and it
worked really well. The problem is that now, when I want to use this
python
script, it reports this message:

"from paraview.simple import *
ImportError: No module named paraview.simple"

I have made some searches on the Internet and I found a web page about
this problem: https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/EnvironmentSetup
I have copied and pasted those sentences on my .bashrc file, restarted
the computer but it still does not work.

Could you please help me?

Best regards,

Guillermo S.
