Paraview cannot be launched (missing Curl)

Created by Alice König, Modified on Fri, 28 Nov at 9:48 AM by Alice König

Problem description

The simulation could be launched successfully, and output data should have been written to the drive already. The
"Start Paraview" button in the visualiuation section is active but Paraview does not launch. (Mainly for Ubuntu 18.04 and Paraview 5.10.1, but can happen at other Linux OS as well).

Cause

libcurl.so(.4) is not available on the system.

Measure

Please go to the installation path of Paraview and check if it can launched via the terminal from there. If the library is
missing, a correct error message will be displayed. Please install the missing library (on ubuntu: libcurl4) then.
