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?

  • this should solve the unmet issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies – Fat Mind May 04 '14 at 13:26

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 :) – hertzsprung May 09 '14 at 09:43
  • Ï am trying to install too, but I found these instructions on the page: http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php My trouble is what to do with VERS=$. Should I write VERS=precise or simple precise instead of VERS=$??? – Aradnix Nov 18 '14 at 07:19
