Hi,

I followed the steps in TTK - the Topology ToolKit - Topological Data Analysis and Visualization

Any way to fix this issue ?

Hi Shan,

This looks like a problem with the TTK team’s packaging of ParaView. You will probably want to reach out to them.

Looking at their experimental package, it looks like it is not installing a valid ParaView application bundle at all.
