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" 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 |

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 |
