Hi
I have been been trying to install OpenFOAM 11 on my M3 MacBook Pro but without success.

I have been following the instructions on the OpenFOAM installation page and have followed steps:


1. Downloaded Paraview and checked that sudo is working.

2. Installed Docker (can open Docker Desktop - but little to no understanding)

3. Attempted to install openfoam 11 with the following 2 commands:

sudo curl --create-dirs -o /usr/local/bin/openfoam11-macos http://dl.openfoam.org/docker/openfoam11-macos

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/openfoam11-macos


4. Downloaded Quartz - checked the boxes:

'Allow connections from network clients'

and

'Authenticate connections'.

And then restarted XQuartz.

5. Omitted this section as I had read that this was not necessary. (Taken on trust because I don't know).

Step 6 . Attempted to run OpenFOAM with the following text input:

cd OpenFOAM-Docker

openfoam11-macos

I then get the following:

richardfox@Richards-MacBook-Pro OpenFOAM-Docker % ls
openfoam11-macos openfoam11-macos.txt
richardfox@Richards-MacBook-Pro OpenFOAM-Docker % openfoam11-macos
No directory exists:

Usage: openfoam11-macos [OPTIONS]
options:
-d | -dir host directory mounted (defaults to current directory)
-h | -help help
-p | -paraview [vers] include paraview, with version 56 | 510 (default)
-u | -upgrade install latest upgrades to the Docker image
-x | -xhost use custom X authority and give container host network

Launches the OpenFOAM-11 Docker image.
- Requires installation of docker-engine.
- Runs a "containerized" bash shell environment where the user can run OpenFOAM
and, optionally, ParaView (see below).
- The container mounts the user's file system so that case files are stored
permanently. The container mounts the current directory by default, but the
user can also specify a particular directory using the "-d" option.
- Mounting the user's HOME directory is disallowed.
- The '-xhost' option is useful when accessing the host via 'ssh -X'.
This option should only be used when strictly necessary, as it relies on the
option '--net=host' when launching the container in Docker, which will
give to the container full access to the Docker host network stack and
potentially the host's system services that rely on network communication,
making it potentially insecure.

ParaView:
Graphical applications from the Docker container require installation of the
Xquartz X server to display on the host machine. While applications such as
Gedit, Emacs and GnuPlot will run effectively using Xquartz, more intensive
OpenGL applications, in particular ParaView, can be prohibitively slow.

Therefore, the default Docker image does not contain ParaView and users can
instead install ParaView directly from the vendor and use the built-in reader
module for OpenFOAM: https://www.paraview.org/download

However, if the user wishes to include ParaView with the official OpenFOAM
reader module in their Docker container, they can do so with the "-p" option.

Example:
To store data in /Users/richardfox/OpenFOAM/richardfox-11, the user can launch
openfoam11-macos either by:
cd /Users/richardfox/OpenFOAM/richardfox-11 && openfoam11-macos
or
openfoam11-macos -d /Users/richardfox/OpenFOAM/richardfox-11

Further Information:
https://openfoam.org/download/11-macos

Note:
The container user name appears as "openfoam" but it is just an alias.

richardfox@Richards-MacBook-Pro OpenFOAM-Docker % openfoam11-macos


I have tried this many times and have tried some other ways which escape me now but I am stumped.

Please can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Richard

(p.s. apologies if any pertinent detail is missing - I am really not experienced in this).

[frsb]

I have the exact same error and I couldn't find any solution. I am using an Intel Macbook with macOS 13.4.

Hopefully someone can help.

[peterwallhead]

Followed same steps as the OP and hit the same issue here, macOS 13.6.


Instructions used were from https://openfoam.org/download/11-macos/

[ssmm]

I also have same problem and not able to solve it yet

You have to edit the openfoam11-macos that you downloaded using your favorite text editor following:

1. change the line no. 92 from

docker_image='openfoam/openfoam$ver-graphical-apps'

to

docker_image="openfoam/openfoam$ver-graphical-apps"

2. remove the line no. 143-144

[ -d "$MOUNT_DIR" ] || usage "No directory exists: $MOUNT_DIR"
MOUNT_DIR=$(cd "$MOUNT_DIR" && pwd -P)

3. Save and rerun the openfoam11-mac

the following is the content of the file that I can run normally.

Usage: ${0##*/} [OPTIONS]
options:
-d | -dir host directory mounted (defaults to current directory)
-h | -help help
-p | -paraview [vers] include paraview, with version 56 | 510 (default)
-u | -upgrade install latest upgrades to the Docker image
-x | -xhost use custom X authority and give container host network

Launches the OpenFOAM-$ver Docker image.
- Requires installation of docker-engine.
- Runs a "containerized" bash shell environment where the user can run OpenFOAM
and, optionally, ParaView (see below).
- The container mounts the user's file system so that case files are stored
permanently. The container mounts the current directory by default, but the
user can also specify a particular directory using the "-d" option.
- Mounting the user's HOME directory is disallowed.
- The '-xhost' option is useful when accessing the host via 'ssh -X'.
This option should only be used when strictly necessary, as it relies on the
option '--net=host' when launching the container in Docker, which will
give to the container full access to the Docker host network stack and
potentially the host's system services that rely on network communication,
making it potentially insecure.

ParaView:
Graphical applications from the Docker container require installation of the
Xquartz X server to display on the host machine. While applications such as
Gedit, Emacs and GnuPlot will run effectively using Xquartz, more intensive
OpenGL applications, in particular ParaView, can be prohibitively slow.

Therefore, the default Docker image does not contain ParaView and users can
instead install ParaView directly from the vendor and use the built-in reader
module for OpenFOAM: https://www.paraview.org/download

However, if the user wishes to include ParaView with the official OpenFOAM
reader module in their Docker container, they can do so with the "-p" option.

Example:
To store data in $HOME/OpenFOAM/$USER-$ver, the user can launch
$Script either by:
cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/$USER-$ver && $Script
or
$Script -d $HOME/OpenFOAM/$USER-$ver

Further Information:

Note:
The container user name appears as "openfoam" but it is just an alias.

Apologies if this is too basic but I have tried for a long time with no success. How do I go about making this change?

[olesen]

Have you tried with the www.openfoam.com versions? There are both x64 and arm64 docker images, or you can compile natively on MacOS too.

https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...is/precompiled
https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...#darwin-mac-os

[sarkpiens]

I solved this problem and uploaded the script.

Hope you solve it
