This problem arises because i've very little experience with linux
i'm unable to complete the install as i do not understand the instructions past unpacking the files this i don't understand a) EITHER, if running bash or ksh (if in doubt type 'echo $SHELL'), source the .OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc file by adding the following line to the end of your $HOME/.bashrc file: . $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc Then update the environment variables by sourcing the $HOME/.bashrc file by typing in the terminal: . $HOME/.bashrc i also don't understand how the program is run generally i'm sorry to show my ignorance but i really need to get this program up and running for my university project |

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) you will need at least a modicum of knowledge regarding linux enviroments to use OpenFOAM.
OpenFOAM is a command line based package (although FoamX does provide some GUI functionality), so I suggest you get an introductory linux textbook. Everything will become clear a day or two after you start reading. After you have completed the tutorials you should feel right at home. Good luck. |

Open a terminal and write: echo $SHELL. Press enter and see if says something with bash or ksh.
Mine gives: /bin/bash. So if it is bash: Type in terminal (If you are familiar with windows these two text editors are like notepad and the terminal is like msdos) (the & sign is to run the program in the background so you can keep typing commands into the terminal): gedit $HOME/.bashrc & or kate $HOME/.bashrc & once in gedit or kate program, copy and paste: . $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc save and exit. Then you type in the terminal: . $HOME/.bashrc or you can log out and back in. As Eugene said you should read the installation guide and documentation. |
