Below are build instructions for Fedora 19: These instructions assume that you install in the default location, which is ~/foam/ . Create this folder with: cd ~ mkdir foam * Obtain and unpack source code (if you read this, you probably already have): The recommended way is to get the source code through git source code management system. This way, you can get updates and bugfixes easily by running "git pull". To install into the default location run: cd ~/foam git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.0 Alternatively, you can download a snapshot (.tgz) of the source code from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/files/foam-extend-3.0/ * Install required packages: sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo yum install gcc-c++ binutils-devel bison flex m4 zlib-devel \ qt-devel qtwebkit-devel mercurial graphviz * Set environment variables: cd ~/foam/foam-extend-3.0 . etc/bashrc Optionally, set environment variable for Qt to compile ParaView: export QT_BIN_DIR=/usr/lib64/qt4/bin Optionally, set environment variable for compiling Cuda solvers, for example (replace "sm_30" with value according to your GPU architecture): export CUDA_ARCH=sm_30 * Compile: ./Allwmake.firstInstall * Create user directory: mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN And you are ready to start.
