I'm trying to install OpenFOAM, using docker on a mac. When I run the install script I get the following error:
Code:

It seems that the docker container wasn't created properly. Use docker ps -a to see if the container is there.

I did try using the scripts in the linked thread, mentioned above, and then I can run the docker container, although there are still some permission issues, as discussed in that thread as well. So, either the instructions are wrong, or the docker container wasn't created properly.

I created a folder in Users\pgh with name Projects and provides read+ write permission to it for every user. I put all my project in this directory and it is working fine . (If in doubt , google how to give read+write permission to folder for all users

When you install docker (at least, in Linux), it asks if you want to add users, so you don't need to run things as admin (root). Perhaps this is your problem.

Download the latest /installOpenFOAM+ script, it would work..Also before running new ./installOpenFOAM+ script, make sure to delete old created container with this command 'docker rm -f of_v3.0_plus' .. The problem was coming as new docker version does not support some functionality as was there in earlier version

Thanks. yes, it now works.
I realized that the default example instructions don't work: bash-4.1$ mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/docker': Permission denied But, I can just create a directory in the startup location (/Users/my_mac_login) and work from there. I'm not sure why this discrepancy happens, but it can confuse newbies so I wanted to make a note of it. Thanks for the help. |

Hi .. use this script and it should work fine .
i)delete old container docker rm -f of_v3.0_plus ii) run new script attached here (unzip the script first) Please place script in home folder and then run command from docker terminal as docker-machine ssh default $HOME/installOpenFOAM_MAC_pgh $HOME It will login as docker user and you can run openfoam and there will be no permission issue . you can then run tutorial using command mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN run cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity . cd cavity blockMesh icoFoam Also you can login as root now . password for root : 0fuser2015 Let me know if it works or you face any issue Last edited by pgh; May 6, 2016 at 11:28. |
