Ubuntu16.04 安装 OpenFOAM4.0

Ubuntu16.04 安装 OpenFOAM4.0

按照以下官网安装步骤操作。

https://openfoam.org/download/4-0-ubuntu/

sudo add-apt-repository http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu

sudo sh -c “wget -O - http://dl.openfoam.org/gpg.key | apt-key add -”

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install openfoam4

// 执行这一步时网络一定要好，否则会中断下载。(或者搬梯子) 作者这一步执行了好多遍，终于完成了。作者这里比较慢，以小时计。

User Configuration

gedit ~/.bashrc

在.bashrc文件最后输入如下内容：
source /opt/openfoam4/etc/bashrc

// Note 1: If a similar line has already been added to the user’s .bashrc file, e.g. for a previous version of OpenFOAM, then the line should be deleted or, alternatively, commented out by inserting a # at the beginning of the line.
// 由于是 ~/.bashrc，因此只针对某个用户有用。如果其他用户想使用OpenFOAM时，需要对其他用户的 .bashrc 进行配置。

打开一个新终端查看安装是否成功：
simpleFoam -help

// Note 2: If a user wishes to execute simpleFoam in the same terminal window, they must first register the change to the .bashrc file by typing at the terminal prompt (note the dots): source $HOME/.bashrc
