Installing paravieweb on Windows fails when issuing
npm install paraviewweb --save
The error message is:
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path C:\Users\alber\Desktop\pvw\node_modules\paraviewweb
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c ./config/prebuild.sh
npm ERR! '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
npm ERR! operable program or batch file.
which seems to point to the issue that cmd.exe is being invoked to execute prebuild.sh.
Are there additional settings that need to be taken to install on Windows (it would seem it should work based on https://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/setup.html#Getting-ParaViewWeb-source-code-for-contributing )
Thank you.
Can I ask why you would like to use the paraviewweb js package in your project? For the last 4 years, we've been using vtk.js instead for all our VTK and ParaView Web related project rather than paraviewweb. vtk.js is the way forward assuming that was your intent.
My goal is to integrate something that can interface to paraview server, so anything that does that works. It wasn't clear to me what is the most up to date and it seemed to me vtk.js was more basic and require more effort to interface to data readers and renderers, but if that's not the case, I'll be happy to reconsider!
Thanks,
Alberto
