ParaView command not found
Hi, everyone
I am newbie here, and I just have installed OpenFOAM on my computer. when I run the cavity tutorial: paraFoam $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/icoFoam cavity I got the error message as below: /usr/local/lib.../bin/paraFoam line 57: praview: command not found Can anyone help me ? Thanks a lot! Joey |
You need to install the paravi
You need to install the paraview pack (downloadable from OpenFOAM as well). See the installation instructions.
(I hope that command not found was 'paraview' and not 'praview') |
I think the "command not found
I think the "command not found" comes from the shell and I add a line to $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/apps/paraview/bashrc as below:
export PATH=$HOME/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/lib/paraview-2.4/bin:$PATH. The problem solved. Thanks a lot. |
I also had the same problem with openfoam 1.7 when installing on Debian Lenny
paraview would run fine when launched manually, but not from paraFoam. created temporary 'cavity.OpenFOAM' /home/cfduser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7/bin/paraFoam: 132: paraview: not found to fix this, edit the following file /home/cfduser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/etc/bashrc add this line near somewhere near the top export PATH=$PATH:/home/cfduser/OpenFOAM/ParaView-3.8.0-Linux-i686/bin then $cd $. .bashrc Now you will be able to type paraview from anywhere and it will run. Also paraFoam will also be able to launch paraview. |
I am not sure, if the following lines are the same or not, but this worked for me:
Code:
export PATH=$HOME/OpenFOAM/xyz-v1906/run/ParaView-5.8.0-MPI-Linux-Python2.7-64bit/bin:$PATH Code:
source ~/.bashrc |

I am also facing the same issue. So can I add the same line in the barsch file like you mentioned. Is it different for different paraview versions or same? TIA |
Hi Ranjith,
Yes according to the version of the Paraview this line should change: HTML Code:
Paraview-5.8.0-MPI-Linux ..... |

Thanks for replying. I have one doubt. This line should be written inside the bashrc file right.t That too where? At the bottom or top? Also where should I type the $ cd and $...bashrc. TIA |
I guess you are working in the Linux platform ? If yes then just open the terminal either by launching through command
Code:
ctl + alt + t Code:
gedit ~/.bashrc |
Ok thanks. Will try it

Are you able to see the bashrc file now? If yes then copy paste these lines
Code:
export PATH=$Home/... Quote:
Please remember to change the path of the folder name in which you have the Paraview accordingly. |

I tried above method. I gave the name of installed paraview folder instead of your paraview name in the above code. And I saved it and gave the source command. Now a big message is there whenever I open ubuntu lts command window. I think that bin at the end was not necessary. When I give gedit it's showing /bin is not included in the path environment variable |
