Install OpenFOAM-2.1.1 on Fedora 17

hi
I have a fedora 17 and try to install open foam-2.1.1 but I dont understan this sentences and stop in this step
Building the Sources

Go to the top-level source directory $WM_PROJECT_DIR and execute the top-level build script ./Allwmake. In principle this will build everything, but if problems occur with the build order it may be necessary to update the environment variables and re-execute ./Allwmake.

I am do this but I am not sure is correct becuse have a error

[hadi@hadi ~]$ cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1
[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM-2.1.1]$ ./Allwmake
./Allwmake: line 4: wmakeCheckPwd: command not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

Greetings Hadi and welcome to the forum!

That message is indicating that you should first run this command:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

This line should also have been added to the file "$HOME/.bashrc".

Best regards,
Bruno

thanks
I've done it and after it I got to this sentence
I am acting in accordance with site instructions

:confused: So, do you mean you've managed to get it working? Or is it still not working!?

If it's not working, do you have any other OpenFOAM installations in your machine?

I have no other OpenFOAM installations in my notebook
I do this order:
1-mkdir $HOME/OpenFOAM
copy the OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz and ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz to directory
2-cd $HOME/OpenFOAM
3-tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz
4-tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
5-sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools
6-sudo yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel qt-webkit-devel zlib-devel
copy the
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
in to end line of the bashrc file
8-source $HOME/.bashrc
and copy these to terminal
9-export FOAM_INST_DIR=/data/app/OpenFOAM

10-foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
11-[ -f $foamDotFile ] && . $foamDotFile
and then check gcc and flex version
and now i dont know what to do?

for example:
when i do 9,10,11 have no error and I think is correct
[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM]$ export FOAM_INST_DIR=/data/app/OpenFOAM
[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM]$ foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM]$ [ -f $foamDotFile ] && . $foamDotFile

[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM]$ [ -f $foamDotFile ] && . $foamDotFile

Uhm... those steps are just an example if you want to install OpenFOAM in a different folder. You don't need them if you're installing in "$HOME/OpenFOAM".

ok
now What should I do after 8 ?
I did not ever work with Linux and I did not install the open foam.

[QUOTE=dark lancer;376246
I do this order:
1-mkdir $HOME/OpenFOAM
copy the [URL="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh"] OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz[/URL] and ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz to directory
2-cd $HOME/OpenFOAM
3-tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz
4-tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
5-sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools
6-sudo yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel qt-webkit-devel zlib-devel
copy the
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
in to end line of the bashrc file
8-source $HOME/.bashrc]

Code:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

You can replace the 4 for the number of cores your machine has.
This is what is explained in the sections "Building the Sources" and "wmakeScheduler for faster compilation", although this last one is the generic version of second line I've shown in the code above.

when run these order ,no happen

[hadi@hadi ~]$ cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
When I run the command I would need to enter the desired directory but no happen?
[hadi@hadi ~]$ export WM_NCOMPPROCS=7
[hadi@hadi ~]$ ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
[hadi@hadi ~]$

just in my HOME create a make.log file that inside:
bash: ./Allwmake: No such file or directory

OK, start a new terminal and run:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

pwd

echo $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1

The output of the last two lines should look identical. If they do not look identical, then something strange is going on...

But if they are identical, then continue by running:

Code:

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=7

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

when run first line:
[hadi@hadi OpenFOAM]$ source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc
bash: end-of-file: command not found...
a question؟؟
I must copy the''source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc'' before or after the ''end-of-file'' into the bashrc file?
I copy after the''end-of-file''

Hi Hadi,

Sorry I took so long to answer, but I didn't have sooner the computer resources for testing a Fedora 17 installation.

The idea is add the line:

Code:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

To the end of the file "~/.bashrc", also known as "$HOME/.bashrc".

The original "~/.bashrc" on your Fedora installation should look something like this:

Code:

# .bashrc



# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

        . /etc/bashrc

fi



# User specific aliases and functions

After adding the line, it should look like this:

Code:

# .bashrc



# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

        . /etc/bashrc

fi



# User specific aliases and functions

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

If you've made any changes to "$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc", then please undo those changes.

After this, start a new terminal, so we can be certain it's s clean environment. Then run the commands I indicated in the previous post.

Best regards,
Bruno

I really thank you for the time I leave.

I'm a little confused.
this is my bashrc file
I have not found what you were told.

OK, no problem.

Have you managed to edit the file "~/.bashrc" with success?

And what happened after running these lines:

Code:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR

pwd

echo $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1

I do not edit my bashrc file because i do not understand where add the

Quote:

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc

I have a idea:
I remove the openfoam and thirdparty then you say to me what to do and Events that occur for every order I place it here.
I appreciate you for this.

Hi Hadi,

Sorry, it'll take me a while to write up step-by-step instructions... I've been planning on doing this, but it takes time to write a full step-by-step guide.

So instead, I'll write a copy-paste guide for Fedora x86_64 (and i386), based on the official instructions at http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php
A few notes before you start copy-pasting:

Lines that start with # don't have to be copy-pasted. They are just comments to let you know what's going on.
One wrong character is enough for breaking this guide, so make sure you can read the characters properly or that the installed language system does not break the copied characters!

Quick copy-paste guide for Fedora x86_64:

Code:

#package installation

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' 

sudo yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel qt-webkit-devel zlib-devel cmake



#OpenFOAM downloading and installation

cd ~

mkdir OpenFOAM

cd OpenFOAM

wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz

wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz



tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz 

tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz 



#forcefully load Open-MPI into the environment

#here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI



echo "module load openmpi-x86_64" >> $HOME/.bashrc

echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc



#forgot that we need to go into OpenFOAM's main folder as well

cd OpenFOAM-2.1.1



# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1



#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation

./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1



#Edit the file "make.log" and check if there are any error messages



#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to your next post.

Hi Hadi,

Please review the instructions. I had forgotten about the "module load" feature that Fedora uses... and is requires before the last command you used.

Best regards,
Bruno

hi Bruno
my fedora is 32bit and just run this order

Quote:

#for 32bit use: module load openmpi-i386

not neccessary to replace ''x86_64'' by ''i386'' and run this orders:

Quote:

#for 64bit use: echo "module load openmpi-x86_64" >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc

.... I've updated the post and made the instructions for 64 and 32bit more explicit...
