Hi all, I have made some changes to the script.. it is attached in this reply
Have made:
- Unification of versions ( 9.10 x64 + 9.10 + 9.04 x64 + 9.04 = installOF )
- Mirror selecting
- Architeture detection (uname is default in ubuntu)
- Ubuntu version detection (based in the third number of kernel)
- General fix for tutorials source (fixing wrong calls to bash)
- Code cleanup

I have send the new script to Mads, he has been very supportive.. I believe that the fix for tutorials IS A MUST because novices will find hard times trying to run the tutorials.

Tested on Ubuntu 9.10 x64 ... PLEASE, HELP TESTING THE SCRIPT.

Thankx..

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

Remove all the folders and try to use the script I have attached in the topic, you need to libqt4-dev, flex and python-dev to compile paraview under Ubuntu...
Please, use the script.. it fix other errors you may find in future.

Hello I dont think there is a GUI for OF 1.6. Its just a terminal window. And to view the results you can open paraview by typing in the command window 'paraFoam'

OpenFoam hasn't a GUI, by command window you can type a lots of commands.

Check the online official OpenFOAM documentation here.
Or the unofficial wiki here.
Or even what IDdesigner has found so far, he made available here.

Hi,

I'm new in town and I hope the experts here can give me solutions. I have installed openfoam 1.6 in my ubuntu 9.04 and it works, Base configuration ok and Critical System ok. But question left, if I upgrade my ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10 without deleting ubuntu 9.04 are there some configuration systems should be changed to keep my openfoam-1.6 working?

Thank you for your attention.

Sure, sir, we can get any information, if we have limitless time and energy and want.

It will depend on how you made the installation! Did you follow Mads cookbook script? Did you simply unpack everything from the downloaded packages and it was just plug-N-play? Did you build everything with just the General packages?
I'm asking all of these, because it depends on how you installed OpenFOAM!

So, for the first two hypothesis, just run that block of code I've posted in post #282.
For the third hypothesis, there are two other possibilites: did you build the gcc-4.3.3 that comes with the ThirdParty package or did you use Ubuntu's gcc-4.3.3? Honestly, either one of these should allow continuing to use OpenFOAM+Paraview properly. Or at the very least, just do an ./Allwmake at OpenFOAM-1.6 to make sure it is linked properly. Ditto for Paraview.

Oh, and another thing: is it OpenFOAM-1.6 or OpenFOAM-1.6.x that you installed? Just to make sure

Best regards,
Bruno

I tried to run this script on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and I get this error running Mads script:

FIX up for Ubuntu 9.10
cd: 74: can't cd to /home/aleksey/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64

Somehow the folder structure has changed in the package and I'm not sure if this fix is needed.

And with your script I get

sudo sh ./installOF

Greetings Aleksey,

I've already seen some of the errors in Mads latest script versions.
Attached is the 9.10 version with a few fixes for it that should make it fully functional as intended. You'll have to:

tar -xzf installOF9.10.tar.gz

to unpack the script

As for Fabio's version, he has the latest version in http://code.google.com/p/openfoam-ubuntu/

Currently I'm working on a buffed up version of Fabio's script, and will be posting it later on after doing a few test runs. I'll be posting on Fabio's thread.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the quick reply Bruno. I tried running this new script and got this error:

Sorry about that, I missed the missing quotes in the if for the x86_64 option

Attached is the (hopefully) fixed version.

Additionally, don't run the script with the sudo command on it! The script itself already has sudo where it is needed!

Best,
Bruno

edit: in the post #335 you now have a more up-to-date version.

I actually just got your post, but I tried Fabio's version from the repositories and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all of your guys' help!

Also, I had to run:

. $HOME/.bashrc

To get the bash environment updated after Fabio's script installation. I think it would be a good idea to put that command into the script.

Again, thanks for all your hard work guys on these scripts. OpenFOAM is a wonderful tool but it seems that most users don't even get around to seeing its potential because they get bogged down in the installation. These scripts is exactly what was needed.

When I write my article, I will be sure to source these scripts and the hard working individuals making it all possible.

Hello again Aleksey,

Well, actually Mads had that already figured out. If you see Mads latest blog post here, he says to use:

run the scripts by typing either
. ./installOF9.04
or
. ./installOF9.10

which will implicitly apply the OpenFOAM environment, for both the script, as well as the calling shell. It's something called "sourcing" the script, because you can run either of these commands (on some Linux distros):

source ./installOF9.10
. ./installOF9.10

Oh, as for when you write your article, you better do some heavy testing first There are some things that sometimes go sour, depending on what the computer's hardware and installed packages are!

Ah, and I suggest roaming the OpenFOAM forum for a couple of hours searching for links to useful sites, because there is a lot of knowledge richness, given by various users for various topics!

Best regards,
Bruno

[aleksey]

Thanks for all the wonderful information Bruno, this has definitely been a day of learning for me.

I already started rummaging through the OpenFOAM forums (lots of good info). In all honesty this definitely is very different to the commercial CFD codes integrated into software packages such as CATIA and ProE, but seems just as powerful.

As for the article and the scripts...I'm sure these scripts won't work for everyone, but as long as they provide a viable solution to MOST of the users, they deserve special mention. Not to mention that if you just read through them, they give someone more insight as to how to get OpenFOAM more so than the "Read Me".

Thanks again for all your help Bruno!

Good afternoon.

Using the script at beginning of thread. OpenFOAM managed to install.

Upon reviewing the make.log, some errors were notice.

make[1]: Target `application' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxx/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/applications/utilities/thermophysical'
make: *** [thermophysical] Error 2
make: Target `application' not remade because of errors.

xxx= is used in place of user name.

The machine used is running a stock and fully updated Ubuntu 9.10 install.

Are errors normal when running said script?
Could said error be eliminated?
