Openfoam Installation v4.1 and v5.0
 

Hey Foamers,
Is it possible to install OpenFoam v4.1 when the version v5.0 is already installed on ubuntu ?
thank you.

Hi Sabby,

that should be fairly easy. Just download the source pack from GitHub.
Write aliases in your dot file such as .bashrc
E.g.
alias of-4.1="source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1/etc/bashrc"
alias of-5.0="source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-5.0/etc/bashrc"

Before you start to install the 4.1 version source it by the alias.

I hope it helps. Also when you would like to use one of them use the alias in the terminal before. Let me know whether it works.

Hi Sabby,
