Hi everyone
I'm just installed UBUNTU 10.10 and downloaded the OpenFOAM 1.7.1 I'm new in linux and I'm trying to install the OpenFOAM. I've followed the installation instruction from OpenFOAM website but I can't get it installed on my computer. It seems like the command they show in their site (which has to be typed in terminal) is different from the UBUNTU 10.10 version that I'm actually use (or maybe not, since I'm newbie) can you tell me how to install it on LINUX UBUNTU 10.10 ? or maybe there's already a thread for this problem... if it so, then I'm sorry for making this thread (and please tell me show me the thread if it exist) Thx |

Hi Jonathan,
There are indeed more threads on these things, e.g. here, here, and here. But it is probably useful to see what's exactly the problem. Where do you get stuck in the standard installation instructions? What error messages do you get etc?

I'm actually get stuck in environment variable settings where the instruction tell me to run a file named bashrc. when I try to run it, it gave me comment like 'no such directory or file exist'
And by the way can I install it on LINUX MINT 9? I mean it's just the same with Ubuntu isn't it Thx for your help |

Hi Jonathan,

Open a terminal and type (don't forget the dot!) Code:
gedit $HOME/.bashrc (dont't forget the dot at the start and note there's a space between the dot and /opt/....) Code:
. /opt/openfoam171/etc/bashrc (note, two dots this time and also a space between the first dot and $HOME/.bashrc) Code:
. $HOME/.bashrc Quote:

I suggest you install/compile as normal user. But if you explicitely want to install as root, you need to source OpenFOAM in root's bashrc, i.e. Code:
su gedit /root/.bashrc & Code:
. /opt/openfoam171/etc/bashrc And finally source root's bashrc by typing as root Code:
. $HOME/.bashrc

Dear Abdelsalam,
Probably the easiest to start with would be Ubuntu, since it is a quite easy system to use, lots of documentation, and OpenCFD has released a Debian package of OpenFOAM (i.e. works on Ubuntu out of the box). Just follow the links and have a go.

Sorry....
Thanks for the liberty, it works now. But, I have problems with Paraview. When I execute ./Allclean, this happens: ++ rm -rf 'platforms/build-*' ++ cd openmpi-1.4.1 ++ make distclean make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop. ..... ..... /bin/sh: gmake: not found This is probably again something trivial, but I have very little experience with ubuntu. |

Hi everyone,
i want to install openFOAM on Ubuntu 10.10. All systemupdates are installed. When I type the command "sudo apt-get install openfoam171" I get the following error: openfoam171: Hängt ab: libncurses5 (>= 5.7+20100313) aber 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 soll installiert werden E: Kaputte Pakete |

To put your problem into more human readable form: The openfoam deb package specifies a dependency of libncurses that comes with ubuntu 10.10, but then asks the package manager to install the package from ubuntu 10.04 (20090803).
A solution might be that you manually install libncurses from your package manager, after which the dependency will be satisfied before the installer can trip over it. |
