I use macOS 10.15.7, Paraview 5.9.1 and trying to run this Catalyst example [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Examples/Catalyst/CxxImageDataExample](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Examples/Catalyst/CxxImageDataExample).
I do cmake, then make and run with ./CxxImageDataExample /SampleScripts/feslicescript.py
as it is said in the readme file for those examples. Program works, but there is no output. What could be the problem?
Maybe I need to manually turn on catalyst-use when cmake? But I don’t understand how to do that. When I do ccmake there is no catalyst-use option

Make sure all submodules are up to date using `git submodule update --recursive`

I downloaded paraview from [https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/) and downloaded examples from [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Examples](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Examples), i don’t have a git repository on my computer. Could you please explain what shall I do? If i try `git submodule update --recursive`, I have `fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories):`

You’re trying to use ParaVIew 5.9.1 source code with Examples that are based off the development branch. That won’t work since the development branch has moved forward since the 5.9.1 release. You can checkout the 5.9.1 specific examples by choosing the appropriate tag/branch for the example.
e.g. for 5.9.1, here are the examples: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/v5.9.1/Examples](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/v5.9.1/Examples)
