Question

I want to install a latest or optimum version of Ubuntu as a dual boot with my Windows 7, 64-bit. I want to install Ubuntu to run OpenFOAM which is an open source CFD software. My computer Specs are as follows, any advice is well appreciated. Thanks.

Lenovo G460
Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1

Installed RAM: 4.00 GB(3.87 GB usable) DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 310M [Display adapter]

Does this answer your question? How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements? — karel, Oct 24 '21 at 05:47

You can install LTS version 12.04 or you can install 13.04 if you don't care about LTS.

For installing OPENFOAM use this command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openfoam220
