Updated for ParaView Superbuild have moved to the [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/ source repository] starting with ParaView 5.2. For docs for earlier versions, please check out the history tab for this page.
 
=Introduction=
 
This page describes how to build ParaView binaries along with most, if not all, of the external dependencies that ParaView needs to generate a full featured build of ParaView.
 
We use [http://www.kitware.com/media/html/BuildingExternalProjectsWithCMake2.8.html CMake External Projects] to provide users/developers with a uber cmake project that can build ParaView and its dependencies and hence we refer to it as the ''ParaView Superbuild''. For instructions on building ParaView itself, providing installed or prebuilt versions of the dependencies, refer to [[ParaView:Build And Install]] instructions.
 
=Prerequisites=
* ParaView-Superbuild requires [http://cmake.org CMake], version 2.8.8 or higher and a working compiler.  On Unix-like operating systems, it also requires Make, while on Windows it requires Visual Studio (8 or later). Follow these [[ParaView:Build_And_Install#Download_And_Install_CMake|instructions]] to download and install cmake. This document assumes familiarity with using CMake.
 
* On Windows, in order to enable scripting support, [http://python.org Python] is required.
