Hello,

I'm trying to use the Find Data utility, but paraview shows this:

Error: Find Data requires that ParaView be built with Python enabled. To enable Python set the CMake flag 'PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON' to True.

is there any way to get rid of this or I should install paraview again as it says?. If so, how do I do that?

Thank you

Hi there,

Have you seen this thread already? "https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/141505-python-not-enabled-parafoam-foamextend3-1-a.html" I didn't look thoroughly, but basically it addresses the same issue as you are addressing.

I solved it by changing these lines in makeParaView:

Code:
withPYTHON=true
PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0"
and the building again.

I used the location given by
Code:
locate libpython2.7.so.1.0
as the PYTHON_LIBRARY route, I don't know if you can use a different version of python.

I had to do this since the python building script didn't get the correct address
