"No such file or directory exists" error

mahendrark · November 26, 2015, 12:56

Hey guys!

Just installed OpenFOAM-3.0.0 in Ubuntu 14.04 in my PC. Then, I tried running the Lid Driven Cavity Flow tutorial. But this error keeps getting in the way and prevents the following line from getting executed on Terminal:

Code:

 cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity

I keep getting this message when I execute the above line:
bash: cd: /tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity: No such file or directory

I checked the files in the directory and made sure they are in proper order. I've included the screenshot of the directory.

Can someone help me with setting this right?

Thanks

Quick answer: It seems like the OpenFOAM shell environment is not active. My guess is that you followed these instructions: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04
If you did, then whenever you start a new terminal you should run:

Code:

of300

If it doesn't work, please provide more details about which installation instructions you followed. Because if you followed the official instructions from source, you should run:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.0/etc/bashrc
