Hi ,

I just started using OpenFoam last week for my bachelor thesis and I have a big problem with the installation. I'm not really experienced in installing such software, it's more or less the first time and I hope you can help me, I'm an absolute beginner.

My computer runs on Windows 7 and I followed the installation instructions "Windows binary".

My problem is, that i can't find the files on windows, they should be somewhere "home/users/...", but there is nothing, I think it didn't work to copy from the docker, but I don't know how to fix it

What I did (execute as admin) :
1) Installation
2) Start "OF-Env_Create" which was succesful
3) Start "OpenFOAM_Start" :
- created a workingDir (which is empty, when I try to copy the tutorial in here, there is an error "cp: cannot create directory`./tutorials' :Permission denied"
- cd $FOAM_RUN
cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity .
cd cavity

this was kind of succesfull, i could execute blockMesh, but when I tried to visualize it with "paraFoam" (Paraview is installed, do I have to change some settings?), it's not working

I googled and tried a lot, watched YT-videos, but it does not help and it's just so frustrating

Hope you can help me to fix my problem. Thanks a lot in advance
