Why do I always get stuck installing more than 340 packages when compiling ParaView on Ubuntu 20

Because ParaView has many dependencies, however 340 seems a bit too much, which package are you installing ?

You are running out of memory, probably during VTKm compilation. Reduce the number of process you are using.

ninja -j2 ?
How to reduce the number of process?

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview.git
mkdir paraview_build
cd paraview_build
cmake -GNinja -DPARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON -DVTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE=TBB -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release …/paraview
ninja
