Hi Friends,

i have installed OpenFOAM-v1606+ on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

In "opt"'s folder i have allready OpenFoam and ThirdParty.
1- I should create an new folder with name "OpenFOAM" in directory "home".
2- And in "Home/OpenFOAM" folder i should create new folder " user-v1606+ ".
3- And in folder "Home/OpenFOAM/user-v1606+" with "mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN" should i create Folder "run" for post processing.

when i give this command in terminal, but it doesn't work . i receive this Info in Terminal "„mkdir --help“"

what shoul i do?

Quick answer: This means that the OpenFOAM-v1606+ environment is not activated. Did you run the following command?

source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+/etc/bashrc

And what steps did you take to install it in "/opt"?

Hi, i did fallowing steps:

1- sudo apt-get install build-essential flex bison cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev

2- sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev freeglut3-dev libqtwebkit-dev

3- sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev

4- mkdir -p /opt/OpenFOAM

5- tar xvzf ThirdParty-v1606Plus.tar.gz -C /opt/OpenFOAM/

6- tar xvzf OpenFOAM-v1606Plus.tar.gz -C /opt/OpenFOAM/

7- echo ". /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+/etch/bashrc" >> .bashrc

Quick answer: You have a typo in the last line:

. /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+/etch/bashrc

It's "etc", not "etch"

Try running:

. /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+/etc/bashrc
echo $FOAM_RUN

If it shows an empty line, then it's not working yet. If it shows the path to the "run" folder, then you need to edit the file ".bashrc" in your home folder and correct the respective line.

thank you very very much and "run" is there... but "then you need to edit the file ".bashrc" in your home folder and correct the respective line. " i donthave any idea what should i do...how can i repair the file in .bashrc..i don't have too much experience with bash.

ich finde .bashrc with this commnad: "ls -a |grep bashrc" and with geit ~/bashrc i edited etch in etc but run is not to finde

Quick answer: See the following wiki page for more details: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell

But in a nutshell, run this command:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Notice that there is a tilde '~' and a dot '.'
Then scroll to the end of the file and look for the references to "v1606+".
