Hello, new Paraview user here.

I am building a model of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, and am using the OpenVR plugin to explore it. I have used the Collaboration function a few times, and I was wondering if there was a way to run the server locally instead of having to connect to [vrserver.kitware.com](http://vrserver.kitware.com)?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I believe so, but that’s a @martink question.

Yes, it is included in the mineview repo (though it may be out of date as I’ve updated our use of zeromq but not updated that bit of code) Should be fairly easy to update and build though. [https://gitlab.kitware.com/ken-martin/mineview](https://gitlab.kitware.com/ken-martin/mineview)

and a prebuilt linux executable can be found here [https://data.kitware.com/#item/5df283d3af2e2eed3580a11c](https://data.kitware.com/#item/5df283d3af2e2eed3580a11c)
