There are multiple ways to get the software:<\/p>\n
Source<\/b> links are to tarballs of VTK source code that you can download and compile. Note that compared to the git master branch, the latest release option is better tested and easier to install, but it will not have the newest features being developed in the git repository.<\/span><\/p>\n Documentation<\/b> links are to tarballs of Doxygen-generated documentation for the VTK API.<\/span><\/p>\n Data<\/b> links are to tarballs of different example datasets for testing. VTKDataFiles* and VTKLargeDataFiles* contain data files organized into a human-friendly directory and name structure. VTKData* and VTKLargeData* are data object stores used for VTK regression testing.<\/span><\/p>\n VTK Python wheels<\/b> are available for easy and fast VTK installation from PyPi with [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”VTK discourse forum” url=”https:\/\/discourse.vtk.org” image=”http:\/\/www.vtk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sidebar_mailing_45.png” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” animation=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Attend a training course” url=”https:\/\/www.kitware.com\/what-we-offer\/#training” url_new_window=”on” image=”http:\/\/www.vtk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sidebar_course_45.png” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” max_width_tablet=”50px” animation=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Purchase support” url=”https:\/\/www.kitware.com\/what-we-offer\/#support” image=”http:\/\/www.vtk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sidebar_services_45.png” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” max_width_tablet=”50px” animation=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Buy the books” url=”https:\/\/www.kitware.com\/what-we-offer\/#books” image=”http:\/\/www.vtk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sidebar_book_45.png” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” max_width_tablet=”50px” animation=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]pip install vtk<\/code>. Links to downloadable wheels are also available for each version. For VTK modules or features not compiled into the wheels such as a VTK module that depends on a third-party software package, you will need to compile VTK from source code using CMake and compiler for your platform.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
