Problems with installation

batta31 · September 3, 2012, 15:51

Hi to everyone. I'm new in this forum and I'm experiencing some troubles with the OpenFoam installation. I've got "squeeze" as version of ubuntu and I've added the repo

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/dowload/ubuntu $VERS main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list" both with

$VERS= squeeze or $VERS=natty or any other ubuntu version.

My trouble is always the same, namely after typing "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install openfoam 211", I get the error "Impossible to find package openfoam211".

I can't find out what/where is the problem. Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Simone

Greetings Simone and welcome to the forum!

You've got Debian, not Ubuntu

edit: more specifically, you've Debian Squeeze

Try with this:

Code:

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/dowload/ubuntu lucid main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

Best regards,
Bruno
