Download source for VTK 9.1.x?

Support
1

The VTK download page shows the current release, the previous release, and a release before that. E.g. it currently shows VTK-9.3.0.RC, VTK-8.2.0, and VTK-7.1.1.

Is it possible for me to load a previous version that does not show on that page?
E.g. where can I download source for VTK-9.1.x?

I see vtkVersion.cmake for 9.1.0 here - probably a dumb question but how do I use this file?

Thanks!

Yes! Here are the steps:

  • Go to the gitlab repository of VTK
  • Switch the dropdown on the left from master to the tag you are interested in e.g v9.1.0
  • Click the download button (next to clone on the right) and you will get an archive of the code.

No need to use it directly . Once you download the archive you can follow the build instructions.

You may also want to check the getting started guide.

Note that submodules (vtkm) is missing from those downloads. You should be able to guess names based on the URL pattern (https://www.vtk.org/files/release/9.3/VTK-9.3.0.rc1.tar.gz), but I suppose we need the hashes somewhere.
