OpenFOAM Installation

OpenFOAM 2.3.1 over Debian 7.0

Installation

1. 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
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search flex
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search bison
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search cmake
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search zlib1g-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libopenmpi-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search openmpi-bin
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search qt4-dev-tools
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libqt4-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libqt4-opengl-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search gnuplot
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libxt-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search freeglut3-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libqtwebkit-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libreadline-dev
{{Command|<nowiki>aptitude search libncurses-dev

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

mkdir /usr/local/OpenFOAM

3. 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
{{Command|<nowiki>wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.3.1.tgz

4. 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

5. 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/profile.d/apps.sh

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

</nowiki>

6. Run ./Allwmake

cd $FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-2.3.1/
{{Command|<nowiki>./Allwmake

7. Test!

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