Hi foamers,
I just finished installing OpenFOAM 4.1 on Fedora 24. Now it is easier than before
Really, I just followed the homepage without modifications (more or less).
If you are lazy, and just want to copy paste then you have it below. Hope this helps.

This worked like a charm on my newly upgraded Fedora 24 system, many thanks, I spent a lot more time on getting previous OpenFOAM releases to install properly.

Does anyone know if these instructions are current for Fedora 25?

[Talder]

Hi, I did not reinstall or recompile for Fedora 25, but I have done an online upgrade from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 and found out OpenFoam 4.1 still works.

[JonW]

In fedora 24, I tarballed my OpenFOAM directory (i.e. "tar czf of.tgz OpenFOAM" in ~). Thereafter I did a completely fresh install for f25.
After extracting the tarball "tar xzf of.tgz" in f25, no problems so far (of course after doing the dnf install stuff mentioned above).

[Stanislav]

On Fedora 26 it works also well. Only needed to fix bugs using

Paraview installation on scientific linux??

and

where simply [34567] was used.
