Compilation and Installation

Procedure

1. Use PuTTY to log in to the server as the root user.
2. Decompress the VTK installation package.

   cd /path/to/VTK
   tar -zxvf VTK-9.0.1.tar.gz

3. Go to the directory generated after the decompression.

   cd VTK-9.0.1

4. Perform the compilation.

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/VTK-9.0.1

5. Perform the installation.

   make -j48
   make install

6. Check whether the installation is successful.

   ls -l /usr/local

   If the command output contains the VTK version information, the installation is successful.
