Install VisIt on Linux

[Friedrih]

Good day.
I unziped visit-develop.zip. What i should do next to install VisIt?

To install VisIt you should download one of the release binary tarballs and follow the instructions on Installing Visit.

These instructions also tell you where to find the release tarballs.

Oh my. Are all of these created by build_visit? build_visit should tell you what directory it is writing the third party libraries to. You should figure out which one it is writing to and delete it. Or delete all of the third party directories, assuming they were created at some point while trying to build/install VisIt.

I left the visit-develop and Visit folders.

I took the visit_install file from the visit-develop folder, moving it to /home/erg.

[JustinPrivitera]

Ok. So what happens now?

[Friedrih]

/home/erg/visit/bin/visit

The terminal still showing only: "Running: gui3.4.1"

I will be investigating the ubuntu install early next week.

I have recently acquired an ubuntu 24 system; when I return from travel I will go through the installation steps there and hopefully be able to help you more.
