Paraview Client Server model

We can't use the binaries for this model. Paraview has to be compiled on the server.
Following should be installed along.
1. cmake : cross platform build tool. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment
2. Qt
http://qt-project.org/downloads

QT installation..
Goto INSTALL file in the downloaded unzipped tar file.
Look at the html for embedded Linux
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt-embedded-install.html

cd  ~/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5
 ./configure -embedded
make

now set the path in (your home directory) ~/.bash_profile

PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.5/bin:$PATH
 export PATH
also set cmake path 



ParaView uses Qt as its GUI library. Qt is required whenever the ParaView client is built.

set qt path>>

export PATH=/home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/bin:$PATH



 file and source:: give the executables



export QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5

Need to set this as environment variable

  and run paraview : try qt installation and then set env variables. Then try the following...



/home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/ParaView-v4.0.1-source/CMake  is the location to run this command




    

  1. Run ccmake to configure the Makefiles
    2. 

    
%
    

    
ccmake ../ParaView-v4.0.1-source

Cmake



There doesn't seem to be a 64 bit. Going to use Linux i386

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Installation location : /home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/cmake (binaries)



Source installation location:

/home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/cmake/cmakesource/cmake-2.8.12.1



steps:



>> ./bootstrap



>> make



>>make install





-- Install configuration: ""

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):

  file cannot create directory: /usr/local/doc/cmake-2.8.  Maybe need

  administrative privileges. :(



Lets try the binary.

Maybe we need to add the bin to the path.


export PATH=/home/umunipala/research/sem4/source/cmake/cmake-2.8.12.1-Linux-i386/bin:$PATH

    SET PARAVIEW FOR LINUX

    Add the lines fo xserver on server 
    NOTE: Be careful to ensure that the characters around the word hostname are backticks, and not single quotes, especially if cutting and pasting the text.

     if ( echo `hostname` | grep -sq 'vs' ); then
       export DISPLAY=:0.0
     fi

    https://www.alcf.anl.gov/user-guides/vis-paraview-data-analytics-cluster

    [umunipala@griffin bin]$ export PATH=/home/umunipala/research/sem4/ParaView-4.0.1-Linux-64bit/bin:$PATH
    [umunipala@griffin bin]$ pvserver
    Waiting for client...
    Connection URL: cs://griffin:11111
    Accepting connection(s): griffin:11111

    Now make the connection from localhost to the server.

      working: both 64 bit 3.14 once the server is started n running,
      ssh -L 11111:localhost:11111 umunipala@griffin.utep.edu
      Delete

    Lab: we need to use same version for client and server; give the correct path

    [umunipala@griffin bin]$ export PATH=/home/umunipala/paraview/ParaView-3.14.1-Linux-64bit/bin:$PATH
