[OpenFOAM.com] Openfoam installation issues on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

papaji · May 26, 2024, 08:34

Hello,
Recently I formatted my laptop and installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I was trying to install openfoam11. I followed the instructions as listed in the following link.
https://openfoam.org/download/11-ubuntu/

However I am getting the following error:

prasad@prasad-vostro-2520:-$:-$ sudo apt-get -y install openfoam
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openfoam11
prasad@prasad-vostro-2520:-$

I tried with openfoam8 9 10 as well. Same error is noticed. Did anyone face this issue with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

I think this error is due to the downloads not having been compiled for 24.04 yet.

You may be able to get OpenFOAM running in Docker: https://openfoam.org/download/11-linux/

I plan to wait until the version compiled for Ubuntu 24.04 is available.

The openfoam.com versions should be up since just before 24.04 became official.

It looks like OpenFoam 11 for Ubuntu 24.04 is now available:

It looks like it became available on June 12.
