Hi all, new openFoam user here (trying to be).


Been trying to install openFoam on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS(VirtualBox) for the past couple of days with no luck whatsoever. I followed the instructions to the letter as mentioned here: https://openfoam.org/download/10-ubuntu/


All steps complete without fault until I get to:

sudo apt-get -y install openfoam10

This results in the following error:

Err:3 http://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/proj...am/foam/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 paraviewopenfoam56 amd64 3-20220601

Redirection loop encountered

Fetched 246 MB in 27s (8,967 kB/s)

E: Failed to fetch http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...ourceforge.net Redirection loop encountered

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

When I paste the last link mentioned for paraviewopenfoam56 into a browser(any browser), I am taken to the correct Sourceforge page, but the download never starts, irrespective of OS.


Having given up on trying to resolve the issue, I tried to use the OpenFoam.com version...lo and behold:

Err:2 https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope...iles/repos/deb jammy/main amd64 openfoam-selector all 1.0.6-1

Redirection loop encountered

Fetched 112 MB in 26s (4,285 kB/s)

E: Failed to fetch https://downloads.sourceforge.net/pr...ourceforge.net Redirection loop encountered

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

...Same issue.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Regards,


Martin
