Following this post, I installed OpenFOAM inside the WSL2/Ubuntu from the default repository:

sudo apt install openfoam

I found the bashrc file in

/usr/share/openfoam/etc/

directory, but when I source the bashrc file I get the error messages:

-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamEtcFile: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamEtcFile: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamEtcFile: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory

-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/share/openfoam/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory

indicating that there is no bin folder in the installation location. Please help me understand what the problem is and how I can resolve it.

P.S. for those who end up here, the OpenFOAM examples are installed in the "/usr/share/doc/openfoam-examples/" directory.

To correctly install OpenFOAM ESI versions, see the instructions here:

Following my own instruction here, I ran the command

bash --debug /usr/share/openfoam/etc/bashrc

and realized the files "setup" and "functions", in the "/usr/share/openfoam/etc/config.sh/" directory, have several references to the above files. By commenting them out I could stop the error messages (check the modified scripts in the attachments). But please consider that this is not a solution at all.

Unless you've got a very good reason for using an outdated version (v1906) with a potentially faulty setup, you're setting yourself up for a lot of headaches.

It's just two commands away to get a fully functioning recent version (such as v2212):

sudo apt remove openfoam  -y
wget -q -O - https://dl.openfoam.com/add-debian-repo.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install openfoam2212-default
