[OpenFOAM.org] E: can't find package openfoam6

marf · November 24, 2018, 07:48

Hey,

i am very new to openFOAM and i'm already stuck trying to install OpenFOAM v6. For some reason the packet openfoam6 can't be found. I have done the steps exactly how it is described on the website https://openfoam.org/download/6-ubuntu/ but on the last step there is this error. Does somebody know how to fix this or how to install OpenFOAM v6 differently?

Thans and Greetings,
Lukas

P.S.: i tried to install the package openfoam (without 6) and it worked, but i need the v6...

Quick post+follow up:

Lukas had also reported this issue on the bug tracker: https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=3113 - Ubuntu 18.10 was the actual version that was being used, hence the solution back then was to either build from source code or downgrade to Ubuntu 18.04.
Today the Deb packages have been released for Ubuntu 18.10: https://openfoam.org/download/6-ubuntu/
