[OpenFOAM.org] Problem in installing OpenFOAM 2.3.0 !!!

omid20110 · July 27, 2016, 16:00

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install openfoam 2.3.0 but I get this error:
" sudo apt-get install openfoam230
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openfoam230 "

I should mention that I already have installed openfoam 3.0.1 and openfoam 2.4 but now whenever I try to install openfoam 2.3.0 (that is needed for installing flameletfoam...) I get this type of error!
Please help me to solve this problem.

Probably, you have a recent Ubuntu version which does not support OpenFOAM-2.3 binary package. Check [LINK1][LINK2]

You can compile the source files on your system directly.

Yes you're right I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS..
Thanks but I don't know how to install openfoam 2.3 using these links!
Could you please explain it?

You install OpenFOAM-2.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Code:

sudo apt-get install openfoam231

To install from source, you can follow these instructions [LINK]. Also, you can follow OFWiki detailed guide.

Thanks for your help.
I have followed the instructions in this link
http://openfoam.org/download/2-3-0-source/
I have unpacked the sources in opt directory and I have set environment variables in .bashrc like this:
alias of30='. /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc'
alias of240='. /opt/openfoam240/etc/bashrc'
alias of230='. /opt/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc'

now when I run ./Allwmake I get this error:

linux@linux-K550ZE:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for linux:
root@linux-K550ZE:~# cd /opt/OpenFOAM-2.3.0
root@linux-K550ZE:/opt/OpenFOAM-2.3.0# ./Allwmake
./Allwmake: 4: ./Allwmake: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

You need to change the location of OpenFOAM installation in ``OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc`` or simple install it in ``$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0``
