Hi,
is there any version of ParaView with pvbatch that can be executed on ppc64le architectures?
Regards

Prebuilt? No. It’s been deployed on such architectures before, so it should work if you compile from source ([https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild)).

Hi @ben.boeckel ,
I’ve compiled it from source like that:
`git clone --recursive https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild.git`
`cd paraview-superbuild`
`cmake .`
`make`
To have ParaView like the ones prebuilt is there any additional flag that I should use? because I cannot find pvbatch for example
Regards

`pvbatch` requires `ENABLE_python3` and `ENABLE_mpi`. There’s a lot here, but the official packages are built from [this configuration](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/configure_common.cmake). Basically, any `enable_project` call in there may be of interest, but you can ignore anything that you know you don’t need.

How I can use that config file?
I do apologize but I’m not too skilled with compilation …

Using the CI config directly is probably a bit hard, but for any `enable_project(somearg)` that you’re interested in, you can use `-DENABLE_somearg=ON` option when configuring (or toggle it in the gui/`ccmake`).
