How do you use an Allrun script command?

Kendawgg22 · March 2, 2021, 01:36

Does anyone know the correct way to type these command lines? What am I missing here? It successfully creates the new directory. But when I get to run Allrun script: it gives me an error saying too many arguments and ./Allrun just says no such file or directory. I attached the image file to this message.

mkdir newTest && cd newTest && cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/basic/potentialFoam/cylinder .

source ${WM_PROJECT_DIR:?}/bin/tools/RunFunctions && canCompile

run Allrun script:

./Allrun

Hi Kendawgg22,

Can you control for Allrun file in your newTest folder? If you don't have a Allrun file in your folder you can't start the script. Normally, you can start it with ./Allrun

`run Allrun script:` statement is not a command chain. It is just a comment which cannot be executed by the shell.

Also, evrenykn is right: Make sure that you have the `Allrun` script inside `newTest` directory.

I'm not sure. I'm not a linux user. lots of these things are still foreign to me. I was given these instructions because I was trying to diagnose why OpenFOAM version 2012 won't generate blockMesh for tutorial 2.2. But version 1912 did. How can I put a Allrun file into the newtest directory?

I strongly advise googling some basic Linux skills before trying to continue. Otherwise you are going to find life extremely difficult, and will work inefficiently.

The good news is that Linux is very easy to learn and there is plenty of content out there to help you ... not really the purpose of this forum though. Good luck!
