#ANDLINUX XMING INSTALL#
This will solve the the paraView visualisation problem.ĭate:23-february-2008: Note to **Windows** users: You may try to install OpenFOAM on Windows XP/VISTA via andLinux () (colinux+Ubuntu) and following the guide below. Update 25-february-2008: WIndows users willing to install OpenFoam under XP/Vista read this guide and the advice by "Florante" from the andLinux forum here: The quick fix is to export the file to VTK by using the 'foamToVTK' utility and then opening the exported file normally with paraview. I found one problem: After finishing a case a file called file.OpenFOAM containing your computation is created which is supposed to open fine when paraview is called, however an error when reading these type of files arises when one is trying to load them. Please see the documentation since some syntax has been changed. This is all you need to do, OpenFOAM is ready to run. Since this is a standalone installation you will see that the script fails to connect to a remote server, however as I said before 'who cares' just ignore this message. (5)Navigate to OpenFOAM-1.5/bin and execute the foamIntallationTest script (5)Update your environment variables by adding the following line to our. (4)You will see that two new folders are created: OpenFOAM-1.5 and ThirParty

(3)Extract the files in this location in starting with those marked as *general* (2)navigate to the OpenFOAM webpage and download from there the five installation files: OpenFOAM-1.5.General.gtgz, OpenFOAM-1.5.linuxGccDPOpt.gtgz, OpenFOAM-1.5.linuxGccSPOpt.gtgz,, (1)Create the OpenFOAM folder in you home

The other main change is the use of paraview 3.0 One of the main changes is the discontinuation of FoamX, from now on the configuration files are to be modified by using your favorite text editor.

Update 13-Septempber-2008: OpenFOAM release 1.5 is slightly different but easier to install in a stand alone configuration, I will describe the steps here but the old guide (v1.4.1 and older) will still be found in this document just for reference. note that version 1.5 has been recently released. I wrote this when using Ubuntu Breeze Badger.
