Hi
I installed it on openSUSE operating system. but when I try to run some examples, like cavity, it doesnt run.
before I say some examples, I hasten to add that surely it is installed. because when I tried to install it again, the massage appeared that it is already installed.

now 2 examples:

1. when I write in the terminal:

gedit ~/.bashrc

this message appears:

If 'gedit' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf gedit


2.when I try to run blockMesh in the cavity folder, this message appears:
If 'blockMesh' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf blockMesh

what should I do?
thanks.

Seems like you don't have gedit for starters. write this on the terminal

which -a gedit

should return something like

/usr/bin/gedit

try also

gedit --version

which should return the version of gedit installed.

If you don't have gedit type the following on terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gedit

thank you
thank you
you rescued me!

but I should amend one thing in your codes:
it seems that "apt-get" is not included in SUSE operating system.
instead there is "zypper"

I used these in terminal - Super User Mode:

zypper update
zypper in gedit

and it did what I wanted

(thank you a lot. because it is quite long time that I'm trying to install openfoam on my laptop. I tried Ubunto. but ubunto didn't get installed on my laptop. so I tried openSUSE and after all you helped me. thanks.)
