so i downloaded openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb from source forge and wanted to install openFoam from the package.

after moving openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/ i typed in the terminal

sudo dpkg --install openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb

but i got this error :

Selecting previously unselected package openfoam221:i386.
dpkg: error processing openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb (--install):
 openfoam221:i386 0-1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with openfoam221:amd64 0-1 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb

so i tried to follow the instructions of this Link http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php to install OF221.

but i had this problm :

No command 'setenv' found

I used this Link to solve the probleme ...but i am not able to use ./Allwmake

here what i did :

abm5kor@BMH301562:/opt/OpenFOAM$ setenv FOAM_INST_DIR /data/app/OpenFOAM 
No command 'setenv' found, did you mean:

It seems that you have a problem with apt sources (or DNS):

Something wicked happened resolving 'www.openfoam.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

Don't remember exactly where Ubuntu stores it, something like /etc/apt/sources.lst or /etc/apt/sources.lst.d. Can you post its content?

[Mirage12]

Hello alex

here :

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

what should i change in this file ?
Shoul i add
deb www.openfoam.org:http precise main
in the openfoam.list file ?
thx

2. If you'd like to install OpenFOAM compiling it from sources then do the bash part (i.e. source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.1/etc/bashrc). AFAIK in Ubuntu by default you'll get bash as your shell. Even if you install tcsh it will not become default shell automatically.

what do you mean with :

No. The entry in the sources file is correct.
To be sure you can delete old file and create it again with something like:

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

[Mirage12]

i still have the same problem....

Greetings to all!

@Amin: To install a deb package directly, for example, run this command as root:

dpkg -i openfoam221_0-1_i386.deb

As for not accessing the outside network, it's likely that you are using VirtualBox, correct? Either that or your network connection has a constraint for not accessing outside of the internal network.

As for sourcing the "bashrc" file, here's some reading material: Advanced tips for working with the OpenFOAM shell environment

Hi,
I just new in OpenFOAM.
I installed the latest version of OpenFOAM 2.2.1 and ParaView 3.12.0. Every thing was ok, but I am worry about running if it is working properly or not ( snapshot screen was attached). Could you please look at snapshot screen and let me know if any problem with running.

Cheers

[wyldckat]

Greetings Maimouna and welcome to the forum!

From the screen-shot you shared, it seems to be working just fine.

Best regards,
Bruno

I would like to ask about OpenFoam videos. Where I can find some?
I found some in youtube. But are there any room of OpenFoam and how to use paraFoam in this forum?

Best regards

[wyldckat]

Hi Maimouna,

The main OpenFOAM is here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/
From there you can see all of the sub-forums.

These threads explain how to use the forums:

• http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/sit...on-forums.html
• http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html

And I know there was a thread about videos made in the effort to support science and engineering by the Indian government... ah, it's this one: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tutorials.html

Best regards,
Bruno

Greetings Bruno,

I wanted to re-install OF2.2.2. So i uninstalled it by doing rm -rf openfoam222 (the same for paraview) in the /opt directory. When I try to install it again, it says

openfoam222 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Have I uninstalled it correctly? Did I miss something?

Do I need to change some other file?

Thanks in advance.

[wyldckat]

Greetings Srivaths,

Yes, you uninstalled it incorrectly . You should have used the same installation command, with the "remove" option instead of "install"
In other words:

sudo apt-get remove openfoam222 paraviewopenfoam3120

Best regards,
Bruno

[Sherlock_1812]

Thanks Bruno. I did that and have started afresh.
