Hi,

I installed VTK-8.2 in gnu server with cmake 3.14 using ccmake command. But after installation vtk8 is missing from usr/bin folder. Is this normal or there is some problem during installation?

There’s never been a `vtk8` binary. What are you expecting it to be?

The ‘vtk’ binary used to be the Tcl/Tk front-end for VTK. Tcl support has been removed, VTK 7.1 was the last release to provide it.

Oh, I thought that was called `vtksh` or `vtkwish` or something. If that’s the case, then yes, `vtk`-the-binary is no more.

Sry, as I observed VTK6 in case of VTK-6.2 that’s why I was asking. Thanks to all for the reply.
