Hi, i'm a beginner on Ubuntu, and i'm using Ubuntu for CFD Researchs.

I'm trying to install openfoam-2.4.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04.01LTS by following this steps:

https://openfoam.org/download/2-4-0-ubuntu/

But, when i used this comand: sudo apt-get -y install openfoam240

This problem appeared for me:

root@USERNAME:/home/USER# sudo apt-get -y install openfoam240
Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto
Construindo árvore de dependências
Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
E: Impossível encontrar o pacote openfoam240

My Ubuntu language is portuguese, but on the last line,
the terminal says that is IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OPENFOAM240 PACKAGE

I followed all steps, but always appeared this error.

Please, someone help me, I really need to fix this to start my Research.

Quick answer: The page specifically states that the only supported Ubuntu versions are:

• 14.04 LTS, codename trusty
• 15.04, codename vivid

If you want to use OpenFOAM 2.4.0 on Ubuntu 16.04, you will need to build from source code, as instructed in either one of the following pages:

• Official instructions: https://openfoam.org/download/2-4-0-source/
• Unofficial instructions: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04

Thanks, this fix my problems with the correct installation.

But, paraFoam is not running or not installed.

How can I install paraView-4.1?

____________

When run "paraFoam" to solving my case "cavity", this appeared to me:

 matheus@matheus-X550LN:~/OpenFOAM/matheus-2.4.0/run/tutorials/cavity$ paraFoam

FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist

Please build the reader module before continuing:
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

I tryed to fallow this steps, but this message appeared to me:

How can I download ParaView-4.1.0 and how I install it?

I need to fix it for my research. I hope you will help me. Thanks

Hi,

You need to repeat the step where it installs paraview, it might have failed when you did it the last time:

sed -i -e 's=//#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY=' \
  ParaView-4.1.0/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx
 
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/ParaView-4.1.0
 
wget http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/attachments/20140210/464496cc/attachment.bin -O Fix.patch
patch -p1 < Fix.patch
 
cd VTK
wget https://github.com/gladk/VTK/commit/ef22d3d69421581b33bc0cd94b647da73b61ba96.patch -O Fix2.patch
patch -p1 < Fix2.patch
 
cd ../..

#this will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours or more
./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

If this doesn't help, give more information about your environment, such as OS you are using, etc.
