I don’t think that’s the right takeaway here. Just to clarify:

First, determine which MPI implementations are provided by your HPC system.

If any MPI implementaiton that is listed [here](https://www.mpich.org/abi/) are available on your system i.e. it is compatible with MPICH ABI, then you’re golden. `module load ...` (or whatever is recommended on your system) the appropriate MPI implementation and then ensure you pass `--system-mpi` command line argument to pvbatch.

If not, you’ll need to build ParaView from source using the MPI implementation available.
