Hello,

I am trying to install SU2 v5.0.0. When I attempt to run python scripts such as shape_optimization.py I get the following error:

stebbt@stebbt-VirtualBox:~/su2_o/bin$ shape_optimization.py -f inv_ONERAM6_adv.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/shape_optimization.py", line 36, in <module>
sys.path.append(os.environ['SU2_RUN'])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 40, in __getitem__
raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'SU2_RUN'

I configured using:

./configure --prefix=/home/stebbt/su2_o CXXFLAGS="-O3" --enable-mpi --with-cc=/home/stebbt/mpi_install/bin/mpicc --with-cxx=/home/stebbt/mpi_install/bin/mpicxx --enable-PY_WRAPPER

and set my environment variables in /.bashrc:

export SU2_RUN="/home/stebbt/su2_opt/bin"
export SU2_HOME="/home/stebbt/SU2"
export PATH=$PATH:$SU2_RUN
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$SU2_RUN

I am new to Linux so I am not sure if I have the paths set correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I tried exporting the paths directly in the terminal command line and it seemed to correct the issue, I can now run the python scripts. I know this is more of a linux question, but does that mean /.bashrc is not being read/used when using my terminal?

You should add these lines to the file ~/.bashrc not /.bashrc (maybe it is just a typo though). Furthermore you install SU2 to /home/stebbt/su2_o but SU2_RUN points to /home/stebbt/su2_opt/bin
