[OpenFOAM.org] OpenFoam 3.0 installation on Ubuntu 14.04.3

tab2001ng · January 17, 2016, 21:56

Hi,

Trying to install OpenFoam 3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.03 version. Manage to install but could not get past the User Configuration Section on the OpenFoam website (http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php). I followed step 1 & 2 (under User Configuration) as instructed but when I open a new terminal window I get the message:

bash: source /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory

I am completely new to Ubuntu OS and OpenFoam so any advice that can help resolve this is appreciated.

Hi,

Since /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc file is a part of package and it can not be found, guess there was a failure during installation. Could you post output of steps 1, 2, and 3 from "New installation" section of the guide?

Hi,

I cleared the Terminal window and reinstalled OpenFoam. This time it worked and the issue is resolved.

Many thanks.
