I just installed OpenFOAM for Windows and tried to run the cavity tutorial (please note, I have not previous OpenFOAM / Linux experience). Unfortunately, the fatal error emerges:

[ofuser@boot2docker icoFoam]$ cp -r cavity/ /home/ofuser/workingDir/
[ofuser@boot2docker icoFoam]$ cd /home/ofuser/workingDir
[ofuser@boot2docker workingDir]$ icoFoam -case cavity

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I made a silly mistake (skipped blockMesh).
