Hi there.
I am not sure if this helps anyone, but for what it's worth, I thought I'd share how I install OpenFOAM on a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 system in a somewhat fool-proof way...By installing I mean real install with compiling, not "only" downloading of binaries. I have previously spent quite some time, installing OpenFOAM, so I was trying to simplify and organise the process. I like to bake cakes, so I'll put it in a cookbook way if that's okay with you. 1. you need to have a Ubuntu 9.04 system running (or a similar apt-get enabled distro) 2. you need to be logged in as the user you want to be using OF as (not just using su) 3. you need to be allowed to run the sudo command 4. download my install-script found here 5. read through the script and see if you find anything upsetting (please notify me if you do) 6. either - for the not so faint-hearted - run the script "automatically" by typing . ./installOF OR manually copy-paste each line from the script to your command-line and execute, a bit safer, the installation process step-wise 7. you could bake a cake now, as step 6 probably will take a really long time 8. enjoy OpenFOAM, a cup of coffee and your cake 9. if everything above worked out, you can actually maintain your OpenFOAM install by typing git pull in the OpenFOAM-1.6.x-directory followed by ./Allwmake The script is "verision 1.0" - please use this at your own risk and don't hold anything against me if your summer-vacation pictures are deleted (actually if this happens I really wonder how my script could have caused that ) Let me know if this is useless, or if it helps you out. Cheers, Mads
