This page is dedicated to explaining how to install OpenFOAM OF Version 211.png in Fedora.


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 Fedora 17

Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps: Install OpenFOAM-2.1.1 on Fedora 17

Steps:

  1. For building OpenFOAM itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i386 or x86_64 architecture of Fedora. To check this, run:
    uname -m
  2. Now, accordingly:
    • For i386:
      #package installation
      sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' 
      sudo yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel qt-webkit-devel zlib-devel cmake
       
      #OpenFOAM downloading and installation
      cd ~
      mkdir OpenFOAM
      cd OpenFOAM
      wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz
      wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
       
      tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz 
      tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz 
       
      #forcefully load Open-MPI into the environment
      module load openmpi-i386
       
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
      source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI WM_ARCH_OPTION=32
       
      echo "module load openmpi-i386" >> $HOME/.bashrc
      echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
       
      #forgot that we need to go into OpenFOAM's main folder as well
      cd OpenFOAM-2.1.1
       
      # 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
    • For x86_64:
      #package installation
      sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' 
      sudo yum install openmpi openmpi-devel qt-devel qt-webkit-devel zlib-devel cmake
       
      #OpenFOAM downloading and installation
      cd ~
      mkdir OpenFOAM
      cd OpenFOAM
      wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz
      wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz?use_mirror=mesh" -O ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz
       
      tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.1.1.tgz 
      tar xzf ThirdParty-2.1.1.tgz 
       
      #forcefully load Open-MPI into the environment
      module load openmpi-x86_64       
       
      #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
      source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
       
      echo "module load openmpi-x86_64" >> $HOME/.bashrc
      echo "source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc $FOAM_SETTINGS" >> $HOME/.bashrc
       
      #forgot that we need to go into OpenFOAM's main folder as well
      cd OpenFOAM-2.1.1
       
      # 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
  3. 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:
    gedit make.log
     
    #Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors or 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
  4. 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 -qmake $(which qmake-qt4)
     
    cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers 
    wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS
    ./Allwclean 
    ./Allwmake
