Hi,

I downloaded paraview 5.10 [https://www.paraview.org/download/].

I have exported the bin folder to the Path:

export PATH="/home/myComputer/Documents/ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64/bin:$PATH"

I can lunch paraFoam and it will open paraview 5.10.

However, if I try to lunch the -block command I get:

Invalid $PV_PLUGIN_PATH and -plugin-path= not defined
No supplementary ParaView/OpenFOAM reader modules

How can I fix this?

There is no reasonable way to get that working. If you really, really want to use the additional plugins, they need to be recompiled from source for a particular paraview version. Don't need to compile all of OpenFOAM, just the respective visualization module.

However, you probably won't have much luck building them with paraview binary (missing various headers the last time I checked). However, you probably don't need the plugins anyhow.

For blockMesh, just use blockMesh -write-vtk
