I tried to follow instructions in ParaView Web documentations which in here :
> **[Setup](https://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/setup.html)**
>
> Welcome to the ParaViewWeb documentation. If you encounter any problems when using ParaViewWeb, have a look at the troubleshooting guide, raise an issue on GitHub or start a topic on the Mailing list
But after tried to build the web app I get the following error messages :

18 error This is most likely a problem with the paraviewweb package,
18 error not with npm itself.
18 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
18 error webpack --progress --colors --mode development --devtool source-map
18 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
18 error npm bugs paraviewweb
18 error Or if that isn’t available, you can get their info via:
18 error
18 error npm owner ls paraviewweb
18 error There is likely additional logging output above.
19 verbose exit [1, true]
I tried to install it with Ubuntu Server 18.04 but still get same error. Could any body help me to solve this error?

Thanks for trying it out, but I’m wondering what are you trying to achieve?
1. Create a web project that depend on ParaViewWeb for its React components?
2. Deploy a visualization service with ParaView Visualizer/Lite/Flow/Divvy?
Right now, you are following the documentation to do 1).
If you are looking for 2), you can read that [guide](https://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/docker.html).
