Installation Ubuntu Binaries
- Identify the following installation parameters :
- OpenFOAM version you have ( OpenCFD 2.1.1 - 2.0.0 or Extended 1.6 )
- Linux distribution you use ( Ubuntu Lucid, Maverick, Natty or Oneiric )
- CPU type you posses ( i386 or amd64 )
- Add new reference to your local package repository :
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:flu-team/`dpkg --print-architecture`
sudo apt-get update
- Choose a suffix that corresponds to the one of the target OpenFOAM version / fork you are going to use
(currently available values are - "211", "210", "201", "200" or "-1.6-ext")
and run the following installation command :
sudo apt-get install pythonflu<suffix>
Environment
Before using pythonFlu do not forget to load corresponding OpenFOAM environment, for example
source /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc
Installation check
Import installed pythonFlu kernel library
python -c "from Foam import finiteVolume; print 'ok'"
Important : It is possible to have different pythonFlu installations for different OpenFOAM forks / versions at the same time.
Note : Corresponding Python solvers, that demonstrate the pythonFlu capabilities are distributed separately.
