1 Introduction
This page is dedicated to explaining how to install OpenFOAM in Fedora.
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:
- Lines that start with # don't have to be copy-pasted. They are just comments to let you know what's going on.
- 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 Fedora 23
You can install from source, by either:
- The official instructions are made available here: Download v4.1 | Source Pack
- Or by following the instructions given at the following thread: Installing OpenFOAM 4.0 on Fedora 23, while keeping in mind to use 4.1 instead of 4.0.
