Hi Giuseppe,
if you strictly followed instructions you should now have a startOpenFOAM script somewhere in your home folder (or wherever you downloaded it). just make it executable and run it: Code:
chmod +x ./startOpenFOAM ./startOpenFOAM This is your fully working OF environment. Alias work the same, just call "foam" or "run" to jump to the correct folders. paraFOAM won't work. Just install paraview's binaries and use it outside container's shell. Keep in mind that only $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR is mapped to your local filesystem. All OF related directories are stored in the container filesystem. I personally don't like docker and I always compile from source. If you have enough time or power, just build from source ![]() Bye |

If you installed paraview from your distribution binaries you don't need to compile. I don't remember if you need to export its path to make parafoam work as I don't use distro binaries nor parafoam script, just check it out.
