How To Install OpenFOAM On Mac

[@emreustun8525]

This series smell quality and I think it should continue. I am sure that when the community realizes the existence of these videos the impact will be surreal. Keep up the good work!

[@romarssieverything9667]

I don't understand why they have made this installation so freakin complex. Thanks for the video. Hopefully they make it easier in the future.

please continue this playlist! your vids are excellent for learning from scratch

after 1 and a half hours... I LOVE YOU

[@gurushetty9552]

Everything worked, except the last part where Paraview was to open after a minute. That didn't happen and the Xterm just stopped at pitzDaily

[@billypark3394]

Hi, I'm having trouble with the part at 6:41. I type it into the terminal, but all it says is"/usr/local/bin/openfoam8-macos: line 172: docker: command not found". What is the problem?

[@dennisha5436]

for sure the best guid to install open foam Ive ever seen. great job. big help to CFD community

[@emmanuellaitopa7758]

This was amazing thank you so much ive been struggling for a week to understand why this wasn't working

[@vladimirroca1784]

TO EVERYONE dealing with the issues at 6:41 make sure to have the docker application opened in the back. Also on the upper part of docker there was a banner in my case saying there were some changes that were made and I clicked on it to acknowledge it and then went back to X to continue with the video and had no issue. Not sure if this is helpful but it worked in my case, be very careful with missing letters as that was an issue for me.

[@derrickbecker9856]

At 6:27 how / where do I create the openfoam directory? Is this supposed to be automatically there or do I need to create a folder? I tried creating a folder and nothing changed. Also this MacOS looks different now and I can't find a view of file folder directories anymore. If anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

[@O-cDxA]

What a mess ! Why did they make it so difficult ? It's like they want you to download an app to use the app that allows you to download the other app that requires you to write a full page of gibberish code so that the app can acces the other app that allows the first app to open the other app that can only run and direct you to yet another app that must be downloaded, but fails because you leave off a period in you page of code that you spent several minutes on. Thanks for showing us how to navigate it all though. I didn't even start though, because I get blocked at the beginning of this huge mess by the password to my computer. Is OpenFOAM intentionally difficult so that only coders can use it ?
