Python launcher missing?

[braddeibert]

Hello all,

I am attempting to build a site that will use ParaViewWeb Visualizer to allow users to load a data set and interact with it in the browser.

I've configured apache far enough to where it serves the landing page for the visualizer app that reads, "Server disconnected" but am confused as to where to go from here. I have attempted to follow the documentation but ran into problems with finding/configuring the python launcher.

In particular, the code below has been troublesome (pulled from https://kitware.github.io/visualizer/docs/python_launcher.html):

-- $ cd ParaView/build $ ./bin/pvpython lib/site-package/vtk/web/launcher.py launcher.config

My version of ParaView does not contain the directory beginning at, site-package/..., nor does it contain a "launcher.config" file.

It might be easier for you to use our docker image that have everything already preconfigured. You can read more about it here.

Otherwise, you are right, the launcher has been moved into its own project (wslink), so now the path would be /Applications/ParaView-5.8.0.app/Contents/Python/wslink/launcher.py on a Mac.
