OpenFOAM Installation

OpenFOAM 2.3.1 over Debian 7.0

Installation

First you need to check the required packages. They can be obtained using aptitude. Here is a complete list for the platform:

aptitude search build-essential

aptitude search flex

aptitude search bison

aptitude search cmake

aptitude search zlib1g-dev

aptitude search libopenmpi-dev

aptitude search openmpi-bin

aptitude search qt4-dev-tools

aptitude search libqt4-dev

aptitude search libqt4-opengl-dev

aptitude search gnuplot

aptitude search libxt-dev

aptitude search freeglut3-dev

aptitude search libqtwebkit-dev

aptitude search libreadline-dev

aptitude search libncurses-dev

Then you must create a folder that is accesible for all the users, like /usr/local or /opt.

mkdir /usr/local/OpenFOAM

In that folder use the wget command to download the source package for both the base OpenFOAM and Third Party Scripts:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.3.1.tgz

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.3.1.tgz

Untar the files

tar -xvzf OpenFoam-x.x.x
tar -xvzf ThirdParty-x.x.x

NOTE: The compilers must be: GCC: 4.5.0 and above LLVM Clang: 3.4 and above Intel ICC: 14.0.1

Edit /etc/profile.d/apps.sh and add the following lines. Then replicate these changes in the apps.sh file of every node.

File: /etc/mail/aliases

<nowiki>
...
export FOAM_INST_DIR=/usr/local/OpenFOAM
foamDotFile=$FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/etc/bashrc
[ -f $foamDotFile ] && . $foamDotFile
...

</nowiki>

Run ./Allwmake

cd $FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/

./Allwmake

Test!

cd $FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/bin/
./foamInstallationTest

-. Activate the new configuration
-{{Command|<nowiki>yes | sendmailconfig</nowiki>}}
-== Security ==
-By default Debian installs sendmail enabled only for localhost.<br>
-If tcp-wrappers are used, a line similar to the following should be added to /etc/hosts.allow
-{{File|/etc/hosts.allow|<pre><nowiki>
-...
-sendmail: 127.0.0.1
-</nowiki></pre>}}
-If different filters are used, it's necessary to allow the access to the port localhost:25/tcp from localhost:1025/tcp
-== Cleaning-up (optional)==
-Remove ssmtp
-{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude remove ssmtp</nowiki>}}
-If the DNS setup isn't defined in /etc/network/interfaces, remove resolvconf
-{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude remove resolvconf</nowiki>}}
