Also, if you did not unpack the binaries for gcc, java and paraview in the correct locations, it won't find you material either.

Sachin,
I think at this point it might be best if you were to get on google and search for some basic linux tutorials. You'll want to learn about the file system, text editors and some of the other basics. That way if we tell you that the OpenFOAM bashrc file needs to sourced for OpenFOAM to work, it'll make a lot more sense.

Best of luck,
Mike J.
