Thank you Andy,
My understanding is that the Catalyst editions can be compiled separately from Paraview i.e. I do not need to have a version of Paraview compiled in order to compile a Catalyst edition. Is this correct?

If you're just getting started though I would recommend doing a build of ParaView without the GUI. Yes this will require learning a bit of CMake (see instructions for building ParaView at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install) but it will likely be smoother for you for understanding Catalyst's capabilities. Also, it's much easier to link a simulation code with Catalyst through CMake than specifying all of the include directories and libraries. When you're looking for a lean build of Catalyst on an HPC machine then I'd suggest going the edition route (the editions help avoid cross-compilation issues on HPC machines too).

I understand that there are ‘Editions’ of the Catalyst library that vary in the amount of functions that are included from the Paraview library. That’s about the extent of my knowledge about the actual source for the Catalyst library. The documentation that I have found for compiling Catalyst is a bit dated(~3 years old), and I haven’t been able to locate an up-to-date set of documents that detail the compilation procedure for building Catalyst. If I want Catalyst, must I first have a version of Paraview built from scratch on my system? The best documentation that I have found for building Paraview is (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install#Download_ParaView_Source_Code), and I’m having trouble getting Paraview to build from the instructions(I’ve never used cmake before). Has anyone who has successfully built the Catalyst library or knows about the process lend me any tips about how I should approach building Catalyst?
