[OpenFOAM.com] bashrc file doesn't source, windows

Flexflix · April 20, 2018, 06:01

Hi community

I've installed openfoam on windows and my problem now is that I can't source the bash file for some reason.
It is at the right place, but the terminal says that it can't find the file.

Has someone an idea what the problem is?

(my pc is a laptop, the gigabyte p57wv6, i have windows 10 on it, bash worked fine so far)

A picture of what the terminal say's:

You have a ^C appended to your command. I don't know where it came form but the error message indicates it.

@piu58 thank you for your reply

the ^C appeares because I tieped it at the end of my first command.
I tried a commed I have seen and the terminal said if I didn't miss understand that the bashrc file can't be found at that location.

But as seen in the next line with the list command, the fiel exstist.
As also seen with the third command when I listed all files in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1712/etc/

Now I wonder why the terminal at the beginning and with the ^C command says, that bashrc can't be found in that location and what I can do to solve the problem.
