## Current development distribution

Download ParaView Complete (contains ParaView, VTK and Tcl/Tk 8.3.2) source via CVS access:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/ParaView login
(respond with password paraview)

Follow this command by checking out the source code:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/ParaView co ParaViewComplete

Alternatively, if you already have VTK, download ParaView source alone via CVS access (you will need Tcl/Tk 8.3.2, other versions will not work):

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/ParaView login
(respond with password paraview)

Follow this command by checking out the source code:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/ParaView co ParaView

If you have not already done so, you will need to download and compile/install CMake to compile ParaView. Also, on Windows, you will have to install the HTML Help library from Microsoft. See http://msdn.microsoft.com.

(Note: CVS is a source code revision control system used by many participants in the open-source community. To use CVS, you must have it installed on your system. You may wish to use the Cygwin tools on Windows platforms, or WinCVS which provides a very nice GUI to CVS.
