Hey guy,

i am quite new to openfoam. I am currently trying to build OpenFOAM-v1806 from source on xubuntu 18.04, using this guide. Why am i building from source? my Boss wants me to.
The third command is

source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/etc/bashrc

which returns the error:

hgl@hgl-ThinkPad-T530:~$source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/etc/bashrc
No completion added for /home/hgl/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin
... incorrect platform, or not yet compiled?

it should be the correct Platform (Bash) but it is not yet compiled, since the guide states the link to the build guide just after this command.

So I assume the guide is in this case not that clear an i have to build openfoam before running source? And do i have to rerun source every time i rebooted the system? As I said, i am totally knew to this whole thing.

Thanks for your help and sorry if this isn't the smartest question.

Greetings
