1 Introduction

This page is dedicated to explaining how to install OpenFOAM OF Version 220.png in openSUSE.

If you do not yet feel comfortable using Linux, then perhaps you better first read the page Working with the Shell and train a bit with the shell/terminal environments, so you can have a better perception of the steps shown below.


2 Copy-Paste steps

A few notes before you start copy-pasting:

  1. Lines that start with # don't have to be copy-pasted. They are just comments to let you know what's going on.
  2. One wrong character is enough for breaking this guide, so make sure you can read the characters properly or that the installed language system does not break the copied characters!


2.1 openSUSE 12.2

Here you have at least two choices:

  • You can install the RPM packages, which provide a quick and easy way for having a working installation of OpenFOAM 2.2.0. This is the quickest solution for beginners and instructions are provided here: SuSE RPM Pack Installation
  • You can install from source, by either:
    • Following the official instructions from here: Source Pack Installation
    • Or by following the detailed step-by-step instructions below...


Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps: none so far.

Steps:

  1. Switch to root mode (administrator) and install the necessary packages (run one line at a time): 
    su -
zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
zypper install cmake libqt4-devel qt4-x11-tools qt4-assistant-adp-devel gnuplot openmpi-devel
exit
  2. Now, since we're trying to minimize the number of packages to be built, the Open-MPI package that is available with openSUSE is going to be chosen. The downside is that this requires that you logout and log back in, for the system to update the environment settings.
    Nonetheless, we can postpone logging out by running: 
    source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh
  3. Download and unpack (here you can copy-paste all in single go): 
    #OpenFOAM downloading and installation
cd ~
mkdir OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz
 
tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz 
tar xzf ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz
  4. For building OpenFOAM itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i386 or x86_64 architecture of openSUSE. To check this, run: 
    uname -m

    Now, accordingly:

    • For i386: 
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
 
echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
    • For x86_64: 
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
 
echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
  5. Now let's build OpenFOAM:
    (Warning: this may take somewhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours, depending on your machine.)
    #Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd OpenFOAM-2.2.0
 
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
 
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
  6. To check if everything went well: 
    #Check if icoFoam is working
icoFoam -help
 
#Edit the file "make.log" and check if there are any error messages
#Example:
kwrite make.log
 
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
#or if you don't understand the output
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log
  7. Now, in order to build ParaView 3.12.0 that comes with OpenFOAM: 
    cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
sed -i -e 's/ClearAndSelect = Clear | Select/ClearAndSelect = static_cast<int>(Clear) | static_cast<int>(Select)/' \
ParaView-3.12.0/Qt/Core/pqServerManagerSelectionModel.h
./makeParaView
 
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake
  8. Now you can go read the User Guide: official OpenFOAM User Guide

2.2 openSUSE 12.3

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS HAVE NOT YET BEEN FULLY TESTED YET!

Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps: none so far.

Steps:

  1. Switch to root mode (administrator) and install the necessary packages (run one line at a time): 
    su -
zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
zypper install cmake libqt4-devel qt4-x11-tools qt4-assistant-adp-devel gnuplot openmpi-devel
exit
  2. Now, since we're trying to minimize the number of packages to be built, the Open-MPI package that is available with openSUSE is going to be chosen. The downside is that this requires that you logout and log back in, for the system to update the environment settings.
    Nonetheless, we can postpone logging out by running: 
    source /etc/profile.d/mpi-selector.sh
  3. Download and unpack (here you can copy-paste all in single go): 
    #OpenFOAM downloading and installation
cd ~
mkdir OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz
 
tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.2.0.tgz 
tar xzf ThirdParty-2.2.0.tgz
  4. For building OpenFOAM itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i386 or x86_64 architecture of openSUSE. To check this, run: 
    uname -m

    Now, accordingly:

    • For i386: 
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
 
echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
    • For x86_64: 
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
 
echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.0/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
  5. Now let's build OpenFOAM:
    (Warning: this may take somewhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours, depending on your machine.)
    #Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd OpenFOAM-2.2.0
 
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
 
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
  6. To check if everything went well: 
    #Check if icoFoam is working
icoFoam -help
 
#Edit the file "make.log" and check if there are any error messages
#Example:
kwrite make.log
 
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
#or if you don't understand the output
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log
  7. Now, in order to build ParaView 3.12.0 that comes with OpenFOAM: 
    cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
sed -i -e 's/ClearAndSelect = Clear | Select/ClearAndSelect = static_cast<int>(Clear) | static_cast<int>(Select)/' \
ParaView-3.12.0/Qt/Core/pqServerManagerSelectionModel.h
./makeParaView
 
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers 
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
./Allwclean 
./Allwmake
  8. Now you can go read the User Guide: official OpenFOAM User Guide
