Hi @Nicholas_Yue

There was a tentative solution called the ParaView SDK. It is sadly not full feature and I would not recommend its usage for now, for more info: [Build redistributable ParaView (SDK) using ParaViewPluginBuilder - #3 by Senui](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/build-redistributable-paraview-sdk-using-paraviewpluginbuilder/3676/3)

The solution used by everyone for now (apart from rebuilding ParaView) are two projects:

1. ParaView Easy Plugin Builder

[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-easy-plugin-builder](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-easy-plugin-builder)

A project dedicated to automatize plugin compilation for the Linux binary release of ParaView

1. ParaView Plugin Windows Binary Compatible Guide

[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-plugin-windows-binary-compatible-guide](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-plugin-windows-binary-compatible-guide)

A guide explaining how to manually build a plugin compatible with the Windows binary release of ParaView
