19.3.1 installation issues

MFiX Installation
#1

Hello Team, I’m trying to installing MFiX-19.3.1 on Ubuntu and facing the attached error.

I first downloaded Anaconda3-2021.05-Linux-x86_64.sh and issued bash Anaconda3-2021.05-Linux-x86_64.sh to install this package. After this, opened a new terminal and copy-pasted conda create -n mfix-19.3.1 mfix=19.3.1 mfix-doc=19.3.1 mfix-gui=19.3.1 mfix-solver=19.3.1 mfix-src=19.3.1 -c mfix -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/3e2b2dcf/a0176e4dfc12d7480bdfa03abb5d1617/conda/dist from MFiX webpage.

When I open the GUI using conda activate mfix-19.3.1, I get this error on the screen.

Could not import VTK, please check your installation.

Looks like you are missing libtbb.so.2. What version of ubuntu are you running?

I don’t have an Ubuntu image atm, but does this work?

sudo apt install libtbb
