@Freya_the_Goddess , my feeling is that you should start with a build in your home folder and once this works, then:
- Familarise yourself with the directory structure and what needs to be set in the environment in order to build C++ code and Python code.
- Adjust the VTK build parameters specifying what you want in cmake.
- When you are satisfied, then consider building and installing a wheel, if you want.
To help you do this I have just written and tested some instructions that will lead you step by step through the process of setting up VTK in your home folder. The instructions cover:
- what is needed to build VTK
- setting up a virtual environment for VTK
- building VTK
- running some test cases for C++ and Python.
They use the latest release of VTK.
I hope the instructions are useful.
