Arch Linux User Repository

I have installed freecad which requires opencascade and that one require vtk. Installing openfoam I get error when files for conflicts:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
paraview: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/vtk.py exists in filesystem (owned by vtk)
paraview: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/vtkmodules/__init__.py exists in filesystem (owned by vtk)
...

should I write it to paraview as bug? thanks

@archmkr You can download the pre-built binaries from arch4edu.

Direct link: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/arch4edu/x86_64/openfoam-6.20190304-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Is there a way to perform an update instead build it all and all over again each small update?

This package is kind big to compile and if I manage it from myself with a git repository I could just ./Allwmake -update, as mentioned here (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-6)

@lahwacz Thank you. I've solved sourcing /etc/profile in my .bashrc, but what puzzles me is that the terminal (Konsole) I'm using is a not login and interactive shell as can be seen from the following commands output and yet it seems to manage the aliases as if it was a login shell:

[andreak@n752vx ~]$ [[ $- == i ]] && echo 'Interactive' || echo 'Not interactive' Interactive [andreak@n752vx ~]$ shopt -q login_shell && echo 'Login shell' || echo 'Not login shell' Not login shell

@Xwang: The problem is that unlike environment variables, aliases are not propagated from parent shells to the subshells. Hence, the alias works if and only if your interactive shell sources the /etc/profile.d/openfoam-6.sh file directly. This is the case if the shell is a login shell (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash#Configuration_files), but the package should not assume that all shells are login shells. As a workaround, you can add source /etc/profile.d/openfoam-6.sh to your .bashrc.

I have an Issue with the ofoam alias. It is not "executed" and so it returns foam bash: ofoam: comando not found

If I execute alias I obtain only the following alias which is written in mine .bashrc file: alias ls='ls --color=auto'

The puzzling thing is that the /etc/profile.d/openfoam-6.sh script seems to be only half executed because after reboot I can run echo $FOAM_INST_DIR and I correctly obtain: /opt/OpenFOAM

Can you help me, please?

EDIT

I've solved adding source /etc/profile in my .bashrc file

@petronny check out https://repology.org/project/openfoam/related

@Kunda @tomracing So 1901 should be better? Or 6.1901?

@kunda they are following the ESI scheme then maybe also their package while this package is from the foundation.

@petronny, interesting that Debian has changed the version scheme for openfoam. See https://repology.org/metapackage/openfoam/badges
