Hi everyone,
I am new to Linux and OpenFOAM, so it is extremely painful for me to configure it correctly. I am trying to install waves2Foam toolbox at the moment, I followed the instructions, but when I try to execute Allwmake file, it gives me an error message:
~~~~~~~~
FATAL ERROR.
The directory path WAVES_DIR=:/home/waves2Foam does not exist.
Correct the path in bin/bashrc

This means that you should correct the environmental variable $WAVES_DIR
such that it is pointed (in absolute sense) to the path, where waves2Foam
is located.

Please note that once bin/bashrc is created, bin/bashrc.org is only an
inactive file. The latter is also the only of the two files, which is
updated through the SVN-repository.

EXITING
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know that I have to change the path in the bashrc for the WAVES_DIR variable, my question is what is the right path if my waves2Foam folder is just in my home directory? I have tried /home/waves2Foam , but it did not work.

Thank you very much in advance!

Please ignore the previous post since I figured it out!

Dmitrijs, could you please explain how you did it?

OK, so you just go to the wave2Foam directory which should be in your HOME directory. Then you go to /bin and select bashrc file. In that file find label ### USER DEFINED ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES and find 'export WAVES_DIR=<some location>' just under it. This is the path you need to correct. I changed it to:
export WAVES_DIR=$HOME/waves2Foam
and it worked.
Hope it will work for you too!
