Description

Please describe the problem with this page:

https://E4S-Project.github.io/quick-start-paraview/

When going through the steps of this quickstart page, I ran into a problem when executing part of Step 3:

spack install paraview +mpi ^mpich

The output log is long but I think this is the relevant part:

==> mesa: Executing phase: 'meson'
==> Error: ProcessError: Command exited with status 1:
