1 Introduction

This page is dedicated to preparing an openSUSE system for installing the foam-extend project .

2 openSUSE versions

2.1 openSUSE 42.1

Follow these steps:

1. Switch to root mode (administrator), to install the necessary packages:

   sudo -s

   • If the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list, then run:

     su -

2. Install the necessary packages:

   zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
   zypper install cmake libqt4-devel qt4-x11-tools qt4-assistant-adp-devel gnuplot openmpi-devel boost-devel cgal-devel gmp-devel mpfr-devel metis-devel libQtWebKit-devel python-devel git mercurial rpm-build

3. Now exit from the root mode:

   exit

Then continue following the instructions on the previous page, subsection Get the source code, although keep in mind to run the following commands before you run source etc/bashrc:

echo unset WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_CMAKE_322 >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export METIS_SYSTEM=1 >> etc/prefs.sh

More specifically, the commands should be executed something like this:

cd ~/foam/foam-extend-3.2
 
echo unset WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_CMAKE_322 >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI >> etc/prefs.sh
echo export METIS_SYSTEM=1 >> etc/prefs.sh
 
source etc/bashrc
