add to your "sources.list" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list (on a real debian distribution)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid main
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free #non-free is needed for libparmetis3.1 (this line is only necessary on some debian based distibutions like SIDUX)

sudo apt-get install openfoam-1.6-ext openfoam-1.6-ext-dev

add the following line to your ~/.bashrc
alias startOF16ext='source /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'
startOF16ext
# source the OpenFOAM aliases (src, tut, sol, ...)
source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/aliases.sh

in (settings.sh) change FOAM_TUTORIALS
export FOAM_TUTORIALS=/usr/share/doc/openfoam-1.6-ext/examples

# create $FOAM_RUN firectory
mkdir -p $HOME/OpenFOAM/${USER}-${WM_PROJECT_VERSION}/run

cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS $HOME/OpenFOAM/${USER}-${WM_PROJECT_VERSION}/run
