with the help of this url http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php but i was unable to install and this error was flashing :

E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

my system configurations are

Greetings neel and welcome to the forum!

What does the following command output:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list

It should output something like this:

deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu quantal main

If it does not, then run the following command:

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu quantal main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

Then try again the first command I wrote about to confirm if the file is now properly defined.

After that, continue following the official instructions http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php - starting from step #2.

Best regards,
