Thank you. I recommend including these packages: [check, netgen, slepc]. Since VTK does not have an ARM Linux package, it may not be suitable to include.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div dir="ltr" class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
As PETSc can install Firedrake along with it, would it be possible to support optional extras for Firedrake—such as [vtk], [netgen]—during the installation?</div>

<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Is this something that could be considered?</div>
