Hello @natsu_mizu

That is outdated. Please see latest information at [Status Update: Runtime OpenGL render window selection in VTK](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/status-update-runtime-opengl-render-window-selection-in-vtk/14583)

There is no longer a need to download a separate package for osmesa support because it is built into the `vtk` package.
