2. You can also use the following instructions, depending on the Ubuntu version you've got: https://github.com/ogoe/OpenFOAM-1.6...uctions/Ubuntu

where are instructions for ubuntu 11.10?

Try following these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_11.04 - they should work on Ubuntu 11.10.

I downloaded 1.6ext folder and followed instructions but nothing occurred when used ./Allwmake:

Hi Ehsan,

You didn't properly follow the instructions. Looks like you skipped step #2. Follow these instructions:

cd ~
mkdir OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM

mv ~/Desktop/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext-sf-master OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

Then continue from step #4 from the section "2.2 - Ubuntu 11.04": http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_11.04

Best regards,
Bruno

[immortality]

thanks.I supposed stages before are related to downloading.
now I have extracted ext folder in the desktop and this error occurs:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/OpenFOAM$ cd OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
bash: cd: OpenFOAM-1.6-ext: No such file or directory

should I copy it to HOME/OpenFOAM?

[wyldckat]

Please follow the instructions from the previous post.

By the way, I've moved this line of conversation to a new thread, given that the emphasis is about installing on Ubuntu 11.10.

[immortality]

thanks.now is this on compiling?(nothing is shown)

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/ThirdParty$ ./AllMake > log.AllMake 2>&1

Yes, it should be and it's going to take a while. And this is just for building the "ThirdParty" applications!
When it's finished, then you'll be able to build OpenFOAM 1.6-ext.

[immortality]

ahy does it takes this so much?its now 2hours!
even doesn't show anything that user be certain its running or when ends!
why is not like official version?

[immortality]

why this text displayed when i open a new terminal now?whats wrong?

Start a new terminal, go to the same folder and run:

less log.AllMake

Press the "End" key and it should go show the end of the log. Press a couple more times and you'll see that it's updating the log file. Press the "Q" key to exit the application less.

It's taking so long because it has to build Qt and ParaView. This is to avoid some occasional running issues that occur with ParaView, when it's built with an untested or Ubuntu Qt version.
And since Ubuntu 11.10 only provides ParaView 3.10, I didn't suggest using this particular version of ParaView.

And it's not like the official version, because it does not have the same level of support and development At least as far as I know.

I forgot to mention this before: those instructions currently only assume the user is installing a single OpenFOAM version. You'll have to edit the file "~/.bashrc" once again and adapt to your current settings.

The long description is a feature that 1.6-ext has got, since it provides tons of features. This way it's easier to verify if, what and where is installed and being used.

[immortality]

its the bashrc now.what changes have to be done?

# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion

Replace:

source /home/ehsan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

With:

alias of16ext='source /home/ehsan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'

[immortality]

now it has ended and 1.6.ext is compiling.but I can't see its progress by before commandyou said in 1.6ext folder.
and what do you mean by:

And since Ubuntu 11.10 only provides ParaView 3.10, I didn't suggest using this particular version of ParaView.

Ubuntu 11.10 has got ParaView 3.10 in the apt-get package system. If you were to run:

sudo apt-get install paraview

You would get ParaView 3.10.

I didn't suggest to you to install this version, because it's a very outdated version.

[immortality]

then how It can be possible to install a recent version pof paraview?or not possible?!

The current instructions take so very long to perform because it builds ParaView 3.12.0, which is better than Ubuntu 11.10.

I didn't suggest installing a more recent version of ParaView, because it can be a two-edge sword: it works great for many people, but leads to crashes for others. And one wrong step can lead to bigger problems. Therefore my suggestion is usually to take the safer route of building the custom version, even if it takes longer.

Either way, instructions on how to install a pre-built version of ParaView can be found here: Using the official pre-built ParaView 3.10.1 version with OpenFOAM - It's possible to adapt to the latest ParaView 3.98.1, instead of "3.10.1".
