[BUG] On Ubuntu 22.04 is the paraview plugin not available after pip install meshio[all]
Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I am not able to install the meshio-paraview plugin on Ubuntu 22.04 to be able to open Gmsh meshes in paraview. I installed meshio using pip install meshio[all] and tried to install the plugin in paraview following the instruction: Find the file paraview-meshio-plugin.py of your meshio installation (on Linux: ~/.local/share/paraview-5.9/plugins/) and load it under Tools / Manage Plugins / Load New but there's no such file, nor directory.
There are the files: /usr/share/paraview-5.10/xmls/ParaViewFilters.xml /usr/share/paraview-5.10/xmls/ParaViewSources.xml
which set to autoload in paraview (Tools>ManagePlugins...) but I still can't read Gmsh meshes. How to find/install/enable the paraview-meshio-plugin.py plugin to be able to view Gmsh meshes in paraview?
To Reproduce A minimal code example that reproduces the problem would be a big help if you can provide it. Attach a small mesh file if necessary.
- Install paraview from the repository
- pip install meshio[all]
- in paraview: Tools / Manage Plugins / Load New -> the expected directory doesn't exist
- paraview-meshio-plugin.py cannot be found using a search
Diagnose I may ask you to cut and paste the output of the following command.
pip freeze | grep meshio
meshio==5.3.5
