Paraview Debian Packages

[Owen Arnold]

Use the InstallPV.sh script to produce Debian packages for PV that put the paraview libraries in a default searchable location.

Michael has instructed me that this can be done based on the existing InstallPV.sh script, where the package type will need to be changed and the deployment steps can be removed.

I've tested this out a clean Ubuntu 10.04 installation and it works perfectly now. Debian package is on the vates download page ​http://download.mantidproject.org/VatesDownload.psp

Tester:

On a clean ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 environment.

• Download and install the Paraview Deb on the downloads page ​http://download.mantidproject.org/VatesDownload.psp
• Download and install the Mantid Deb on the downloads page ​http://download.mantidproject.org
• Download and install the correponding Mantid_Vates Deb package ​http://download.mantidproject.org/VatesDownload.psp

All should install without issue. It should be possible to view and rebin a workspace in the VSI without making any adjustments to environmental paths.

Works in Ubuntu 12.04
