Dear,

I have once tried OpenFoam on Ubuntu, but I now tried to install the official openfoam 2.4 for windows from openfoam.com.
After installation I followed the procedures to run OF_Create_Env and OpenFOAM_Start.
But after that I got lost. First of all I don't understand the instructions regarding the working directory and working directory naming.
Secondly I can't find the OpenFOAM examples/tutorials directory.

Last one is that after "exit" the VM and restarting OpenFOAM_Start, I first get an error that some key can not be opened. Then it takes longer to start the real openFOAM compared to the first time, after which I get bash: mpicc: command not found.

Now I have uninstalled everything, but still wanting to get it to work.

Any help with all of the above will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Quick answer: Unfortunately I haven't figured out yet how to make their installer work properly I have a somewhat unconventional Windows installation either way, so I haven't been able to figure out where the conflict was.

If no one else answers in the meantime, I strongly advise you to send an email to the address given on the first post of the first announcement: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...m-windows.html

1 The OpenFOAM installation is under the following location and tutorial can be find
under this location /opt/OpenFOAM . Type command cd /opt/OpenFOAM

However to run tutorial , you need to copy them to workingDir and then run it

2. WorkingDir is the folder which will be seen from bash shell environment of OpenFOAM
. If you go inside the workingDir and do ls . you will see files in your windows computer
which are under C:\Users\UserName i.e C:\Users\alex . If you do not have any folder with name username as such alex in example , you need to create one with username and
then again click on Create_Env shortcut and then click on Start_Env.

3. mpicc command not found: do not worry about it if you just want to run OpenFOAM and need not to rebuild it

Dear pgh,
Did you run any tutorial in your OpenFOAM for Windows instrument?
Thank you
Lavrov

Dear Lavrov
Yes, I have run tutorial. The only thing is that tutorial are in root area so you cannot run it there until you have root access , so you need to copy them to workingDir and then start working on it

Thanks
