Hello, I am new to openfoam and I have enrolled in the first course offered by TechnicalCourses.net. I am trying to run the "laplacianfoam" case and receive the following error "Command not found"

The steps I have taken are as follows:
After setting up openfoam

1) change directory
=> cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/basic/laplacianFoam/flange
works fine.

2)convert ansys mesh to openfoam mesh
=> ansysToFoam flange.ans –scale 0.001
works fine.

3)execute the solver
=> laplacianfoam
error ensues.

This a copy of the command line

Code:
skankatron@skankatron-Q551LN:~/OpenFOAM/skankatron-2.3.1/run/tutorials/basic/laplacianFoam/flange$ laplacianfoam
laplacianfoam: command not found
Any idea what is wrong? I ran the tutorial case given on the openfoam website on the install page and did not have any issues. Keep in mind I am really new to linux and this software. I am also going at this alone so any help is appreciated.

The correct command should be laplacianFoam, with a capital "F"
