Introduction

============

[ParaView][] is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and

The first public release was announced in October 2002. Since then, the project

has grown through collaborative efforts between [Kitware Inc.][Kitware],

[Sandia National Laboratories][Sandia],

[Los Alamos National Laboratory][LANL],

[Army Research Laboratory][ARL], and various other

government and commercial institutions, and academic partners.

Building

========



There are two ways to build ParaView:



* The easiest method for begginners to build ParaView from source is

by using our [Getting Started compilation guide][build] which includes

commands to install the needed dependencies for most operating systems.



* Another way to build ParaView, quite useful when trying to enable more specific

options which requires to build dependencies yourself (ie osmesa, raytracing),

would be the [ParaView Superbuild][sbrepo]. The superbuild downloads and builds all

of ParaView's dependencies as well as ParaView itself.
