1 Introduction
This page is dedicated to explaining how to install the foam-extend project 
in Ubuntu.
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.
Contents
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 Ubuntu 10.04
Here you have at least one choice:
- You can install from source, by:
- Following the official instructions from one of these repositories:
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 10.04 at the official Extend repository
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 10.04 at repo.or.cz mirror
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 10.04 at Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github mirror
- Note: Before following any of the instructions above, check the section Note regarding foam-extend-3.0
- Following the official instructions from one of these repositories:
2.2 Ubuntu 12.04
Here you have a few choices:
- You can install from source, by either:
- Following the available official instructions at the auxiliary project page: Download & Install at wikki.gridcore.se
- Following the available official instructions from one of these repositories:
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 12.04 at the official Extend repository
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 12.04 at repo.or.cz mirror
- Building Instructions for Ubuntu 12.04 at Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github mirror
- Note: Before following any of the instructions above, check the section Note regarding foam-extend-3.0
- Or by following the detailed step-by-step instructions below (which has been based on the instructions from previous link)...
WARNING: These instructions are still being written and tested out.
Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps: none so far.
Steps:
- Switch to root mode (administrator) and install the necessary packages (run one line at a time):
sudo -s #if the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list, #then remove the # from the next line: #su - #these 3 lines count as a single line, due to the blackslash "\" character apt-get install git flex bison rpm build-essential zlib1g-dev binutils-dev \ openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev mercurial exit
- Set-up the base folder where foam-extend-3.0 will be installed (here you can copy-paste all in single go):
cd ~ mkdir foam cd foam
- The next command will depend on the repository mirror you want to use:
- Extend's official repository:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0
- Extend's official repository (https mode, if you're behind a firewall):
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0
- Mirror at repo.or.cz repository:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0
- Mirror at repo.or.cz repository (http mode, if you're behind a firewall):
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0
- Mirror Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github repository:
git clone https://github.com/Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0
- Extend's official repository:
- After the cloning is complete, go into the cloned folder and switch to the master branch:
cd foam-extend-3.0 git checkout master -b master
- Configure the preferences file:
cp etc/prefs.sh-EXAMPLE etc/prefs.sh #Use the system compiler and configure to use Gcc 4.6 echo "export WM_COMPILER=Gcc46" >> etc/prefs.sh # Use the system installation of OpenMPI sed -i s/"#export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/"export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/g etc/prefs.sh sed -i s/"#export OPENMPI_DIR=path_to_system_installed_openmpi"/"export OPENMPI_DIR=\/usr"/g etc/prefs.sh sed -i s/"^#export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/"export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/g etc/prefs.sh #here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got echo "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4" >> etc/prefs.sh
- Now to do several more necessary fixes:
#Create a symbolic link for gmake ln -s /usr/bin/make bin/gmake #disable X dependencies in tecio sed -i -e 's=\(U_WIN32\)$=\1 -DENGINE=g' \ applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToTecplot360/tecio/tecsrc/Make/tecioOptions #ensure that swak4Foam can be built
- For building 1.6-ext itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i686 or x86_64 architecture of Ubuntu. To check this, run:
uname -m
Now, accordingly:
- For i686:
echo "export WM_ARCH_OPTION=32" >> etc/prefs.sh
- For x86_64... there's nothing special to do.
- For i686:
- Activate the environment and save it in the personal .bashrc file:
source etc/bashrc echo "source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/etc/bashrc" >> $HOME/.bashrc
- Build the several stages of the ThirdParty folder in a single go:
cd ThirdParty # This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours. ./AllMake > log.AllMake 2>&1 #Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation ./AllMake > log.AllMake 2>&1
- To check if everything went well:
#Edit the file "log.AllMake" and check if there are any error messages #Example: gedit log.AllMake #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 "log.AllMake.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread tar -czf log.AllMake.tar.gz log.AllMake
- Now let's build foam-extend-3.0:
#Go back to the main folder and update the environment cd .. source etc/bashrc # 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
- 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 (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
- Now you can go read the User Guide, which is located at $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/doc/Guides-a4/UserGuide.pdf.
Discussion thread where you can ask questions about these steps: none so far.
