Hi;
I know this topic has been discussed many times before but I still got no idea about how to install OpenFoam on a mac though I successfully installed it on linux. I found this:
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v16_Mac

that's divided into 8 steps:

make sure that ~/OpenFOAM is on a case-sensitive file-sytem (either a disk image or a separate partition)

OK

git version also available at http://repo.or.cz/r/OpenFOAM-1.6.x.git

What should I download from there? Couldn't I just download the files from the official website?

extract the Downloaded -General taballs (OpenFOAM-1.6 and Thirdparty-1.6) there (Note: if using the 1.6.x version, ThirdParty-1.6 must be renamed ThirdParty-1.6.x or etc/bashrc must be modified)

apply the patches

OK

adapt the hard-coded compiler (gcc-mp-4.3 and g+-mp-4.3) in etc/bashrc and wmake/rules/darwin* to fit your system

source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/etc/bashrc

what do these mean?

Compile OpenFOAM according to the README

Compile ParaView using the makeParaView-script (see the README)

OK

Can you help me?

Thank you guys!
