Hi all,
I am trying to build Paraview 5.6.1 in my Linux-OS (Archlinux) with Openturns, but I have this error:
```
CMake Error at VTK/Filters/OpenTurns/CMakeLists.txt:1 (find_package):
By not providing "FindOpenTURNS.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"OpenTURNS", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenTURNS"
(requested version 1.8) with any of the following names:
OpenTURNSConfig.cmake
openturns-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "OpenTURNS" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenTURNS_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"OpenTURNS" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
```
Did I miss something? cause the installation process mentions that I only have to turn on the Cmake option PARAVIEW\_USE\_OPENTURNS. btw, without Openturns, Paraview is built with no errors.

ParaView is looking for OpenTURNS, did you install it on your machine ?

Thanks Mathieu for your quick answer.

Ok, so you only need to inform ParaView where to find OpenTURNS.
On ubuntu for example, there is a file here :`/usr/local/lib/cmake/openturns/OpenTURNSConfig.cmake`
do you have this file ?

No, I think I installed the wrong version, Paraview needs OpenTURNS 1.8, I will try to install this one.

I installed OpenTURNS1.8, it is installed in `/home/xxxx/.local/share/openturns` and there is no cmake file called OpenTURNSConfig.cmak. it contains three folders `/doc` ‘/examples’ and ‘/validation’.
I followed the installation instructions in OpenTURNS website ([http://openturns.github.io/openturns/latest/install.html](http://openturns.github.io/openturns/latest/install.html))
```
git clone https://github.com/openturns/openturns.git
cd openturns
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local .
make install
```

Why are you building from sources ?

To install older version (OpenTURNS 1.8). The pkg-manager contains only the latest version. Am I wrong ?

OpenTURNS is backward compatible, you can build ParaView with any version of OpenTURNS after 1.8.

OK, I am then confused because in `paraview5.6.1/VTK/Filters/OpenTurns/CMakeLists.txt` it is written:
```
find_package(OpenTURNS 1.8 REQUIRED) # !!!! #
# XXX(fixme)
include(${OPENTURNS_USE_FILE})
set(classes
vtkOTDensityMap
....
```
I will try to install the latest OpenTURNS, I hope that it will work.

Ok, my bad, I am not familiar with cmake. Thanks.
I will try to install latest openturns then.
