Hi ,
I want to install of5 on Ubuntu 16.04, I tried installing description in"https://openfoam.org/download/5-0-ubuntu/" but it not work, and last time i got this massage :
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openfoam5 : Depends: binutils-dev but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: libxt-dev but it is not going to be installed
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
please help me to fix this

Quick answer: I know I've seen this problem before, but I can't remember exactly why this was happening back then...

So my request is as follows:
  1. What does this command give you:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    I need the complete output text.
  2. Then run again:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -y install openfoam5
    and make sure to provide all of the output text it provides... I have the feeling that something is missing here...

Quick answer: It looks like there is a problem with the machine with Ubuntu is having difficulties accessing the Internet.

Perhaps you are using a proxy server in Ubuntu? Because if you are, then it needs additional configuration: https://askubuntu.com/questions/2572...-proxy-for-apt

If you have Ubuntu installed inside a virtual machine or Windows 10 WSL, then you will need to configure it to be able to access the internet from your real machine... but without knowing more details, it's hard to provide more guidance.

I installed ubuntu on a virtual machine, but every time I want to install openfoam, first I check internet connection and sure it works properly. please help me, I'm really confused why this problem occurs
Last time I tried to install, the update command goes well, but install command ended with an error like this:
E: Unable to locate package OpenFOAM5

Quick answer: Please follow these steps:
  1. Check which Ubuntu version and architecture you have installed. To do so, run the following commands in a terminal window within Ubuntu:
    Code:
    uname -m
    cat /etc/lsb-release
    • For me, I get the following:
      Code:
      x86_64
      
      DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
      DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
      DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
      DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"
    • For you, if you get on the first command something like "i686", then that is why it's not working. You will need to install Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, if you want to install OpenFOAM via Deb packages.
  2. If your Ubuntu is really 64-bit, then run the following commands, one line at a time:
    Code:
    wget http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/openfoam5_20171030_amd64.deb
    
    wget http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/paraviewopenfoam54_0-3_amd64.deb
    
    sudo dpkg -i openfoam5_20171030_amd64.deb
    sudo dpkg -i paraviewopenfoam54_0-3_amd64.deb
    sudo apt-get install -f
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure openfoam5
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure paraviewopenfoam54
  3. If all goes well, you can then run the following command without any error messages:
    Code:
    source /opt/openfoam5/etc/bashrc
