Problem in testing (or installing, I don't know exactly)

[betofc89]

Hi,

I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 3.0.x in my Mac OS X El Captain, but I'm struggling to get it right. In the "Testing installation" manual (https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-os-x/wiki/Testing-installation), when it asks me to use the "run" command, the terminal sends me back the following:

-bash: cd: /Users/roberto/OpenFOAM/roberto-3.0.x/run: No such file or directory

I followed all the steps contained in https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-os-x/wiki/OpenFOAM-release-&-Homebrew , and I'm suspecting that the error above has something to do with the "Build OpenFOAM" section. In this section, the tutorial asks me to run the command:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.OpenFOAM

but when I run the abover line in the terminal, nothing happens, in other words, no directory is created in the $HOME location. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Roberto

Hi,

Sorry I forgot mkdir -p "$FOAM_RUN" before run command in Testing installation guide. I have added it to the list of commands.

Concerning $ mkdir -p $HOME/.OpenFOAM, I do not know how you check if directory is created. .OpenFOAM is hidden folder, so usually you do not see it in Finder (unless you have com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles set to TRUE), I you use ls, then you need to use -a flag to see this folder in listing.
