All,

I just run the tutorial cavity successfully for the first time. Now I want to use paraFoam.

Is there a step by step instruction for OpenFoam installation on mac?

Your help is highly appreciated.

below is the message I got when I run the following command:
command -> papaFoam - case cavity

[root@f666728ba07b cavity]# paraFoam -case cavity
directory does not exist: 'cavity'

Usage: paraFoam [OPTION] [PARAVIEW_OPTION]
options:
-block use blockMesh reader (uses .blockMesh extension)
-builtin use VTK builtin OpenFOAM reader (uses .foam extension)
-case <dir> specify alternative case directory, default is the cwd
-region <name> specify alternative mesh region
-touch only create the file (eg, .blockMesh, .OpenFOAM, etc)
-touchAll create .blockMesh, .OpenFOAM files (and for all regions)
-help print the usage


paraview options start with a double dashes

* start paraview 4.4.0 with the OpenFOAM libraries

[root@f666728ba07b cavity]#


thanks,
azaria
