OpenFOAM® ThirdParty System Requirements
For building some particular third-party libraries from source, the normal OpenFOAM System Requirements may not be sufficient.
This is most notably the case for ParaView and/or QT compilation. As duly noted in BUILD and README information, building ParaView from source tends to be the most difficult part of any third-party compilation.
For general functionality, the paraview version distributed with the operating system or a binary package is likely fully adequate for your needs.
Please help us with keeping the information here up-to-date and accurate.
Ubuntu
The full dependency list for building ParaView can be found from the corresponding debian/control file.
A quick way to get these dependencies on to your system is to use the paraview development package:
sudo apt install paraview-dev
Depending on your setup, the following subset may also be enough:
sudo apt install cmake qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libxt-dev
openSUSE (eg, Leap-15.2)
The full dependency list for building ParaView can be found from the corresponding rpm spec file.
A quick way to get these dependencies on to your system is to use the paraview development package:
