I have installed and found this way is best for Ubuntu12.04

Simple solution for Ubuntu 12.04 !!

Based on architecture i.e. u must have 64bit so download these two
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubu..._0-1_amd64.deb
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use this syntax to install(In terminal type and press enter)

• dpkg -i openfoam221_0-1_amd64.deb
• dpkg -i paraviewopenfoam3120_0-1_amd64.deb

Dear Eshan,
Yesterday one of my friend(Who does not know what OpenFOAM is and wants to learn it) also installed by the method I said. He did not find any error like this, as he said.

I never use paraview from the second package i.e. paraviewopenfoam221.
Instead I use paraview 4.0.1(Latest Version)

Please see this link

I used this command:

sudo apt-get -f install

now the error on paraview is this:

root@Ehsan:~# dpkg -i paraviewopenfoam3120_0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing paraviewopenfoam3120_0-1_amd64.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 paraviewopenfoam3120_0-1_amd64.deb

is there any comment?

Dear Eshan,

You can install qt4-dev-tools using apt-get
and then try
dpkg -i paraviewopenfoam3120_0-1_amd64.deb
