Installation
Please find below detailed instructions for the installation of TTK 1.0.0 under Ubuntu Linux.

These specific notes describe the installation procedure for a Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 operating system (but the process should be very similar for other versions). For earlier versions of TTK, please checkout the following instructions: TTK 0.9.9

1. Downloading the packages

Please checkout and review our download page and download the following packages:
 · ttk-paraview-v5.9.1-ubuntu-20.04.deb
 · ttk-1.0.0-ubuntu-20.04.deb

2. ParaView installation

Assuming you downloaded the above packages in the ~/Downloads/ directory, open a terminal and enter the following commands (omit the $ character):

$ sudo apt-get install ~/Downloads/ttk-paraview-v5.9.1-ubuntu-20.04.deb

3. TTK installation

Assuming you downloaded the above packages in the ~/Downloads/ directory, open a terminal and enter the following commands (omit the $ character):
