Hello,
I have a Kubuntu 18.10 linux operating system and I had build the openFoam v1812 downloaded from the openfoam.com couple of months back. Recently, I was trying some tutorials and while trying to perform a surfaceFeatureExtract command in the terminal, I get the output as Code:
Command 'surfaceFeatureExtract' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install openfoam Is there any way so as to resolve this issue ? If some insights can be shed on why such a peculiar behavior occurs it can be of help too. |

I use OpenFoam v1812 on a Windows 10 PC and the function "surfaceFeatureExtract" appears to work fine. Obviously, I got the error message that the file surfaceFeatureExtractDict wasn't found.
I assume, your bug is not in the OpenFoam version, but in your installation. |

Thank you Ingo Reiss for the reply.
I can therefore be sure that the problem lies with my installation. Should I compile and build again ? It will be certainly helpful if any other workarounds are possible. I have attached the log file of the foamInstallationTest utility with this message for further scrutiny. |

It happened to be an issue with the compilation of OpenFoam. I recompiled OpenFoam and the issue got resolved.
Thanks |
