How To Run

Using GUI on HiPerGator

To run ParaView with GUI, use the appropriate partition (such as "hwgui", "gpu" or "hpg-dev"). For more details, please follow GUI application instructions.

Using Client/Server Mode

In client/server mode, you install ParaView on your local machine as a client and use HiPerGator as the back end server to do the processing.

To accomplish this, you will need to start the server on HiPerGator and then use SSH port forwarding to be able to connect to that server from your local machine, learn more at ParaView Client.
