E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

so please tell me what should i do ? can i get dependent software from other source ?
or without this software i can also work with OpenFOAM?
please share some idea..

Greetings Dhruval,

According to your description, I would say that the problem is in that you first need to configure apt-get to work with the proxy server. This should be easily found online, by searching for:

Ubuntu apt-get use proxy server

My first hit was this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ap...e_a_http-proxy

I don't use a proxy server myself, so I have no way of easily testing if this works. Either way, you might want to check the Ubuntu forums for this particular issue.

Best regards,
Bruno

thanks for your answer..i tried that . ist also not working :-(

I've searched for "Ubuntu Proxy Authorization Required" and found that the following two threads should provide a solution:

• http://askubuntu.com/questions/7470/...in-commandline
• http://askubuntu.com/questions/92464...-work-on-proxy

In addition, before trying to install software with apt-get, run:

apt-get update

this will update apt-get's cache for knowing where to download from. If the proxy isn't properly configured for apt-get, it should complain right away when you call this update command.
