This is the thread's initial revision.
Hi all,
the installation instructions with "sed" lines, etc., have proven to be not working on at least two systems (Ubuntu 12.04, CentOS). I believe they are not up-to-date anymore. Furthermore, we put quite some effort into making the installation as easy as 1) "install required packages" 2) source etc/SHELLNAMErc 3) run ./Allwmake.firstInstall
Only step 1) should be system specific.
I would like to contribute to a revision (and as I hope significant simplification) of the installation instructions on openfoamwiki. The general idea is to start with those three steps and the package lists that I know that work on Ubuntu 12.04/13.10 and Fedora 19/20 (and which I wrote on the wikki homepage). Then gradually add new systems/versions as people come up with "does not work here" posts.
Would that be allright?
Best regards, Dominik
