Instructions:

1. Download the files to your computer:

Attachment 20
Attachment 111

2. Open a terminal and cd to where you downloaded them
3. Type

chmod +x installOpenFOAM.txt installParaView.txt

./installOpenFOAM.txt

4. Follow the instructions to download and install OpenFOAM.
5. Run the second script:

./installParaView.txt

6. Follow instructions to compile ParaView.

Jure

Update: while doing some testing myself, it seems I've forgotten to include one package PV3FoamReader requires to compile properly:

libreadline5-dev

I've updated the installParaView script to reflect the changes.

Can anybody send me these scripts, I am not able to download and have the same problems for installing Paraview and OpenFOAM on Ubuntu9.04. Thanks a lot in advance.

Christoph, you could try this script instead:

It will do everything for you.

Hi,

When I tried to run buildParaView3.3-cvs after rmoving platforms directory, i got the following messages.
