Worked perfectly, but two very important distinctions to make if you're a first time Linux user like me: 1. When navigating to the platforms/ [key smash] /bin folder, the [key smash] folder ends with "Opt" with a capital O, not "0pt" with a zero. Good news: typing it wrong doesn't break anything, it just means the install doesn't complete until you go back and type it properly. Seems like a simple mistake to avoid, but I was (ironically) too stressed out worrying about whether I'd accidentally ruin the install if I mistyped something that I didn't notice the lack of a characteristic zero slash. 2. The username in the /mnt/c/users/ file path is your Windows username where your downloads folder goes, whereas the username in the /home/ [username] /OpenFOAM file path is your Linux username. The man in the video uses the same username for both, so I didn't notice the difference at first (good news, again: nothing breaks if you use your Windows user name in the /home/ [username] /OpenFOAM file path, it just doesn't complete install properly so you can go back and try again just fine). This might also seem like a simple mistake to avoid, but thought I'd mention it. Before I notice that I did those two mistakes, my bash was returning messages like: "Command 'blockMesh' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install openfoam" at the end rather than showing the OpenFOAM header. "ls: cannot access 'OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt320pt/bin/': No such file or directory" when I tried navigating to the [key smash] folder to troubleshoot "-bash: /home/Windows/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory" at the top of the bash window when I reopened it And yeah, now, the last two make sense now that I know what my mistakes were, but if you're a nervous first-time Linux user like me, they didn't make much sense in the moment.

Thanks for the video. I really appreciate your content. I do not know if you have already, since I skipped some parts of the video, but do you also mention the possibility to use visual studio code (which is a great text editor btw - if it is installed on windows, with the wsl extension) with "code ." or "code filename" directly? I think it would be a nice addition, which also makes the use of terminal editors completely unnecessary. Also (do not bother if you mentioned it) wsl2 should release soon (with Windows 10 2004), which should be a lot faster, especially for file operations, which should make the use of OpenFOAM a lot better. wsl2 can simply be upgraded from existing wsl1. Have a nice day!

It is worth to mention that you can also edit .bashrc file to make various aliases for your commands, by adding another lines, like: alias notepad='/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' so you can run your text editor/paraview/blender the linux way [notepad system/*]. I think there is a tutorial on this topic somewhere on this channel. Your linux files are hidden somewhere at (might depend on ubuntu version): C:\Users\WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState ootfs\home\LINUX_USERNAME I'd recommend adding this directory to your quick access menu

Hello! First of all, thanks for your videos, you are one of the best source of knowledge of openFOAM! I really appreciate it! I have several questions regarding this video and other openfoam subjects: First thing, about this video I installed openfoam in W10 with your last video (before this one) and I found myself with some issues if I remember correctly, I could not find exactly the directory where the examples and openfoam was installed with the file explorer from windows. Also some files it didn’t allow me to copy files with the file explorer of windows (as if i have not the permissions), i was looking to do all the process of coping existing examples and organizing the files (we always need to erase part of the original examples…) with the windows explorer and not with command line of Ubuntu, is it possible? This is the “explorer.exe .” command line that you mention at minute 20?. Last time I finish installing it in a separate virtual machine, but if it is exactly the same functionality i would love to use it directly in windows. What is your opinion about? also, is it also possible to install it not in the main disk? For the other subject, I want to simulate incompressible laminar flow inside a cylinder with a periodic structures inside, similar to the structure in this publication www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0017931017355515 ,for the moment i want to simulate the RTD using the scalarTransportFoam and simpleFoam and thought about follow the tutorial of the TU Wein that I think you have contributed? No? well at least they mention you 😊 (the tutorials are great). But my issue is naming the different patches for the mesh, what path would you recommend me for this situation? As I came from a commercial software (star CCM+) and the meshing process with the defining condition was really simple I find lost in openfoam…. The CAD files I create myself, so if necessary I can export a surface mesh .stl, or a volumetric mesh .step or in separate surfaces,… that is not a problem. Best regards, and thanks a lot, as with your videos you allow a lot of us to at least be able to learn OF

hi József, I've been using both the ESI's OF (.com version) and the Openfoam Foundation's OF (.org version) on WSL for some time. I have two problems associated with the use of paraFoam in WSL that I still couldn't find a solution: 1. I couldn't use "paraFoam" or "paraFoam -builtin" (which has its own useful built-in functions) in the .com version, since paraview is not an dependence of OF. My trick is to switch into .org version when I need "paraFoam" where paraview has been originally integrated into OF. My question is: how to install / use paraFoam for .com version in WSL? (Indeed, the cfmesh is .com version attracts me sticking with it.) 2. Python calculator can be very useful in paraview. But, it looks even I use the .org version OF on WSL, I don't know why I can't use that. I tried to install a vanilla paraview on Windows, and use "touch a.foam" to open it in paraview. Python calculator works well. But, the point is that, paraview can't use "paraFoam" function meaning the loss of its powerful built-in function e.g. directly processing the decomposed parallel running results. Hope you can help on the above questions. If you can give a video about that, it could help lots of users on WSL.
