Hello, everyone:

I am using OpenFoam-11 ThirdParty-MakeparaView function to compile ParaView function, but I encountered some problems. I want to ask how to install it successfully?

```auto

I am a Linux novice, so if possible, please answer in more detail. I would greatly appreciate your help！

Hi, this is the core ParaView discussion forum. You might find better help on this problem on the OpenFoam or even Anaconda forums.

For most things you can just use the regular ParaView: [https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/openfoam/-/wikis/modules/visualization#do-i-really-need-the-paraview-plugins](https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/openfoam/-/wikis/modules/visualization#do-i-really-need-the-paraview-plugins)
