OpenFoam Installation v1806 on W7, 64bit Problem

Hi all,
I just decided to start with OpenFOAM and followed the following Link to install on my Windows 7, 64bit machine.
https://www.openfoam.com/download/in...ry-windows.php
I followed each of the installation steps and I ran already "OF_Create_Env" to create the environment acc. the README file instructions.

Now, if I run the shortcut "OpenFOAM_Start" as administrator (!) the following window appears:
https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/at...1&d=1540407547

Any idea what I need to do?

Best regards
Joerg

Additional info:
As described in the installation manual Docker-Machine will be installed as well and a Virtual machine. I realized the following additional shortcuts, which have been added on the desktop:
Docker Quickstart Terminal
&
Oracle VM VirtualBox

Do I need to start any of the linked programs to i.e. setup a virtual machine first?
My understanding was, that by clicking the OPENFoan Start Shortcut OPENFoam will start and a command window shows up to start with i.e. some tutorials etc.

Hi Joerg
Can you post out put of screen when you run OF_ENV_CREATE ?
Also open the docker terminal toolbox and then run command
"docker images"
"docker ps -a "
and post the output.

Thanks
Pawan

Thanks Pawan,
I tried it again now - and it seems that by using 'Admin Mode' for running the files show correct apperance. Please find the outputs below.
Is this last output in quoted text showing the OPENFOAM environment ready to go?

Could you please give me hint what to 'do' next in regard of starting a tutorial to get behind the structure?

Any helpful hint will be appreciated :-)

BR
Joerg

Code:

I started following batch file (because I deleted the Shortcut from desktop after initial use)...

v1806/Windows/Scripts/create_OF.bat

Hi Joerg
In terminal , that appear when clicking on OpenFOAM_start has OpenFOAM environment set in it. See this video (it do not have any sound ) but in 17th minute, it shows how to run tutorial in this environment

Ok, I am moving forward....

but using the copy command

Code:

[ofuser@default tutorials]$ cp -ar /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/tutorials/

cp: missing destination file operand after '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/tutoria

ls/'

doesn't work.
The cp --help didn't help either...

May I ask for another hint?

At 17m32s: https://youtu.be/fxH-7W46NWA?t=1052 - there is a single dot at the very end of the command line shown in the video ;)
That single dot tells cp to copy the first folder to the current folder.

Here is the tutorial I usually suggest for starting to learn how to use the shell (command line): http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php
