Hi everyone, Can anyone help me in installing openFoam 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 ?

I'm not able to find it in the openFOAM website.

Install it from the source pack:

And since it is a similar problem:

Dear OF users,

by mistake, I update my machine ubuntu version from 13.10 to 14.04

. That leads to lose some of my work which were working properly. I Installed OF-2.3.0 for ubuntu 14.04 but for some cases gives me error. How to back to my old ubuntu version? Could you please help me to understand why OpenFOAM cases make some difference from version to another?

Kind regards

Hello Maimouna,

which OpenFOAM Version (2.3.0, 2.2.2 or older) did you use on your old Ubuntu?
If you install the same OF Version again, then your cases should work again.

Here you can find all the older versions of OpenFOAM
http://www.openfoam.org/download/archive.php

You probably have to install an older OpenFOAM via Source Pack, e.g. for OF 2.1.1:

Dear Squirrel,

many thanks for your reply. in Ubuntu 13.1, I actually used 2 versions OF 2.2.2 and foam-extend-3.0. But I couldn't find how to install that two versions in Ubuntu 14.04. That's why I installed another version which is OF 2.3.0.

Regards

Greetings to all!

I've merged two threads on the same topic, namely on the topic of how to install OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.

In addition to this, allow me to clarify some details:

Deb packages of OpenFOAM 2.2.2 and 2.3.0 aren't currently available for Ubuntu 14.04, which means that it will have to be installed from source code, as Squirrel indicated.
The instructions that were written for installing OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.10, will also work on Ubuntu 14.04: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_13.10
Regarding the installation of foam-extend 3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04, has already been addressed here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...u-14-04-a.html

Best regards,
Bruno
