[OpenFOAM.com] Missing variables

badoumba · July 15, 2016, 05:03

Hi!

After having installed OpenCFD-OpenFOAM4WindowsInstaller_v1606+.exe, no env variables seem to be registered in my Windows 7 environment.

Is this has to be a manual process? If so where can I find all the names/paths?

Thanks

you need to click on first OF_ENV_CReate shorcut from Desktop and then need to click on OpenFOAM_start which will open terminal with openfoam environment set .

Hi Pawan,

Yes, already did this and in this order.
Is there a way to check that everything in properly installed? OpenFOAM_start prompts me with the following :

Does it means that everything's fine?

Thanks

Hi Pawan,

I actually refered to this page for the installation + the README file.
But no $FOAM_TUTORIALS set, and no /opt folder in my Windows anywhere.

Am I missing something? Isn't /opt a linux folder? Is there a link with the VM then? Not easy setting

Hi .. You need to do it via terminal as it is located in image(i.e can be accessed via virtual box) You can access it via terminal ..you cannot access it via browisng the windows .
