Quick question,

Do the available precompiled versions of Paraview have Catalyst enabled? My In-Situ pipeline works on the Linux version but not for Mac(arm). So far, I have tried with 5.11, 5.12, 5.13 to no success.

Hello @rs.mm,

The precompiled version of ParaView doesn’t have ParaView Catalyst implementation so I don’t think it could works for now, see [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/issues/294](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/issues/294)

IMO it should not be too difficult to add it like what I did last year for windows [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/merge\_requests/1215](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/merge_requests/1215)

it looks like there is already an MR about that [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/merge\_requests/1269](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/merge_requests/1269)

@ben.boeckel @Bob_Obara what is the status of this MR? Do you plan to finish this work at some point?
