Good evening
If you downloaded from http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php then you must follow the instructions shown in the same page (even for Ubuntu). If you want OpenFOAM with a simpler (and faster) procedure but also without being able to modify it then you do what is described in http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php |

Greetings to all!
@zaynah: There are at least two possibilities:
Code:
ping www.openfoam.org If you do have Internet connection, then you can try the following instructions: https://github.com/themiwi/OpenFOAM-Installer - it's a very simple script that does automatically for you the instructions shown for the Debian or RPM packages. Simply follow the instructions and you should be good to go! Best regards, Bruno

Hi Zay Nah,
If you followed the instructions from here: https://github.com/themiwi/OpenFOAM-Installer - then it depends on the answer you gave to this question: Quote:
