There is currently no package for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty at http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php. If I try to use the package for 13.10 Saucy aptitude gives me an error when I try

sudo aptitude install openfoam230 paraviewopenfoam410

[snipped long list of dependencies]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openfoam230 : Depends: libboost-thread1.53.0 which is a virtual package.
               Depends: libopenmpi1.3 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     openfoam230 [Not Installed]

Until an official package becomes available, is there a way around this without installing from source?

you have to wait until they release trusty version (14.04) if you want to use apt, otherwise you can compile the source file. Look at this link for instructions: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php

This link also provides information for installing from source file http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_14.04

  • Sure, but I was hoping to avoid the build time of around 0.5 -- 6 hours :)

  • Ï am trying to install too, but I found these instructions on the page: openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php My trouble is what to do with VERS=$. Should I write VERS=precise or simple precise instead of VERS=$???
