Hello,

I am a new user of linux and I have to work on OpenFOAM for my studies. But I cannot install it. I have allready unzip all files in proper directories. but when I start the installation, this is what I get :


dim@dim-laptop:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
dim@dim-laptop:~$ cd OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/
dim@dim-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3$ .OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc
bash: .OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc: Permission non accordée %% (which means that I do not have the permission)
dim@dim-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3$ sh OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc
sh: Can't open OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc

So I do not know how to open OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc and I cannot go on the setup.

Thank you for your help

Hi Dimitri, As it is right no
 

Hi Dimitri,
As it is right now, you may use OpenFOAM in serial, but first you have to type:
source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc
Then you can use all the top level solvers available... probably you will try the tutorials.

To automate a little bit more, just do what foamTestInstallation says:
You need the following at the end of your /home/dim/.bashrc file:
. /home/dim/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc
or equivalent depending on the location of the OpenFOAM installation.

For parallel computations, you will need an rshd or sshd server running on your machine.
