WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:00.770 Hello everyone! 00:00.770 --> 00:07.400 In this video we are going to see how to install Openfoam version 20 406 using WSL. 00:07.400 --> 00:13.760 So WSL is Windows Subsystem Linux, where you can get almost all the access of Linux system within your 00:13.760 --> 00:14.780 windows machine. 00:14.780 --> 00:16.400 So that is what we are going to see. 00:16.400 --> 00:23.120 We are going to start from the installation of WSL and get till the installation of Openfoam 20 406, 00:23.120 --> 00:28.940 and also I have an additional tip on how to set up the Openfoam so that it does not consume a lot of 00:28.940 --> 00:31.880 space in your hard disk or SSD. 00:31.880 --> 00:38.720 So usually WSL has this problem where even after you delete certain files inside the WSL architecture, 00:38.720 --> 00:42.170 it will not show as free space in your hard disk. 00:42.710 --> 00:45.890 So we will see one method which will rectify that problem. 00:45.890 --> 00:49.760 So to install Openfoam you can visit this website openfoam. 00:49.760 --> 00:50.300 Comm. 00:50.300 --> 00:53.000 There are two versions I will suggest using this one. 00:53.000 --> 00:58.550 So once you go to Openfoam comm you go to downloads here, press on Linux. 00:59.330 --> 01:01.610 Then this will open up this window. 01:01.610 --> 01:06.560 So here you can press Debian plus Ubuntu and it will open a new window. 01:06.560 --> 01:11.450 And these are the commands that we have to run in a terminal which is the Linux terminal. 01:11.480 --> 01:13.220 To install Openfoam. 01:13.220 --> 01:15.410 So for that we need a shell right. 01:15.410 --> 01:17.420 So we will see how to install that. 01:17.450 --> 01:22.850 First you can open your command prompt in a regular fashion. 01:22.880 --> 01:25.700 Then you can choose any drive that you want. 01:25.700 --> 01:30.740 If you want to use your C drive only, you can just type all the commands which I am typing directly. 01:30.740 --> 01:34.220 But now let us say that I want to use my D drive. 01:34.250 --> 01:39.830 Then I will put D colon, press enter and it will take me there. 01:39.830 --> 01:42.890 So it's up to you on which drive you want to do it. 01:43.010 --> 01:47.180 I have multiple drives and I don't want to put it in C, so I am putting it in D. 01:47.210 --> 01:49.670 If you want to continue with C, you can do it in. 01:49.670 --> 01:53.030 The command is okay let me zoom it up slightly. 01:53.450 --> 01:56.660 So space hyphen D sorry. 01:56.720 --> 01:59.640 Hyphen hyphen Install space. 01:59.640 --> 02:01.620 Hyphen D space. 02:01.800 --> 02:02.670 Ubuntu. 02:03.810 --> 02:06.870 Hyphen 24.04. 02:06.870 --> 02:12.600 So version 24.04 is the latest version, so I am installing that. 02:12.630 --> 02:20.010 If it asks for any permission, you can give it and it will take a bit of time to install the WHL. 02:20.010 --> 02:22.080 So let us wait till it is over. 02:22.470 --> 02:25.110 Okay, now the installation is happening. 02:25.350 --> 02:30.630 I will give it the access now after it has downloaded it is installing now. 02:30.630 --> 02:32.880 Let's wait till it installs. 02:33.750 --> 02:39.780 Okay, now the installation has been done and it is saying the requested operation is successful, but 02:39.780 --> 02:43.020 the changes will not be effective until the system is rebooted. 02:43.230 --> 02:50.190 So generally we will have to reboot, but for some system it might or might not work without a reboot. 02:50.190 --> 02:53.130 So let us see whether it is working without a reboot. 02:53.160 --> 02:55.410 If it is not working, then we will reboot. 02:56.070 --> 02:58.140 So to check whether it is it's working or not. 02:58.140 --> 03:00.270 Just hit your search button. 03:00.300 --> 03:03.030 Then search for, uh, ubuntu. 03:03.060 --> 03:03.510 Yeah. 03:03.540 --> 03:07.050 So it is showing ubuntu 24.04. 03:07.080 --> 03:08.610 Just press enter. 03:09.150 --> 03:09.660 Okay. 03:09.900 --> 03:12.930 You can see that it is giving me an error. 03:12.960 --> 03:18.000 This may take a few minutes and the register distribution failed at all. 03:18.000 --> 03:20.910 So for me it did not work without a reboot. 03:20.910 --> 03:23.430 So I am going to proceed and reboot. 03:23.430 --> 03:27.690 So once the reboot is done then I will show you what is the procedure. 03:28.290 --> 03:29.460 So now I will reboot. 03:30.120 --> 03:32.490 Okay, now my system has been rebooted. 03:32.490 --> 03:36.360 So what I am going to do is this search for ubuntu. 03:36.630 --> 03:40.410 This might open automatically or might not open automatically. 03:40.440 --> 03:41.880 So let it take some time. 03:42.120 --> 03:46.860 Then once the installation is over it will ask for username and password. 03:46.860 --> 03:52.050 Then we will do the setup because this is like a separate machine inside your windows machine. 03:52.110 --> 03:54.300 So we have to give the username and password. 03:54.330 --> 03:54.600 Okay. 03:54.600 --> 03:59.170 Now it is asking for a username, so I am just entering a username. 03:59.170 --> 04:02.200 Press enter, then it will ask for a password. 04:02.200 --> 04:06.130 But you have to be very careful while typing the password because when you type. 04:06.160 --> 04:11.590 Usually when we type password anywhere, either it will show what we are typing or it will show at least 04:11.620 --> 04:13.900 a star or some symbol, right? 04:13.900 --> 04:16.150 But here now it will not show anything. 04:16.150 --> 04:20.830 So you have to type it very carefully and it will ask for a confirmation also. 04:20.830 --> 04:26.800 So now I am going to type enter and it will ask to retype the password. 04:26.800 --> 04:35.530 So type it again carefully and make sure that you are not giving any space special character while typing 04:35.530 --> 04:37.360 your username or password. 04:37.360 --> 04:42.670 So it should not have any special character or it should not have any spaces in between. 04:42.670 --> 04:47.350 So once you do that, this window will appear and this is your cell machine. 04:47.350 --> 04:50.860 So how will you know whether you are in a cell or in a command prompt? 04:50.860 --> 04:56.860 So when you are in a cell, you will see that your username but your device name will appear here. 04:56.860 --> 05:03.610 But if you are on your command prompt, then this will all be white, right? 05:03.610 --> 05:05.770 And it will just say C users HP. 05:05.800 --> 05:08.260 The laptop name, all that will come here. 05:08.260 --> 05:13.030 So here you will be getting this green color and then it will be followed by blue color. 05:13.030 --> 05:14.320 So all that will be there. 05:14.320 --> 05:16.750 That is how you know that you are in your WSF. 05:17.050 --> 05:21.310 So let me close this and open a new ubuntu terminal. 05:21.940 --> 05:25.120 Now we can start installing our Openfoam. 05:25.120 --> 05:29.500 So the first method is like just copy this. 05:29.650 --> 05:35.140 Go to your terminal either right click right mouse button or just press Ctrl V. 05:35.170 --> 05:36.880 So mostly right button will work. 05:36.880 --> 05:37.540 Right button. 05:37.540 --> 05:38.440 Press enter. 05:38.470 --> 05:41.500 Now it is asking for a password right. 05:41.620 --> 05:43.450 So you have to type it very carefully. 05:44.620 --> 05:46.720 You have to remember the password all the time. 05:46.900 --> 05:48.400 You should not forget it. 05:48.430 --> 05:51.880 Otherwise you have to uninstall and reinstall it again. 05:51.910 --> 05:53.290 It's going to be a big problem. 05:53.290 --> 05:54.860 So always remember the password. 05:54.890 --> 05:57.170 Now it is saying the repository is set up. 05:57.170 --> 05:59.330 You can now install packages. 05:59.330 --> 06:04.040 So first we have to update get updates the updates for the packages. 06:04.040 --> 06:06.890 So copy this right click press enter. 06:07.160 --> 06:09.410 It will search for any updates available. 06:09.410 --> 06:11.030 This might take a bit of time. 06:11.030 --> 06:13.490 So once that is done we are ready to install. 06:13.520 --> 06:15.620 So you just copy this entirely. 06:15.650 --> 06:22.940 Go here right click use your left arrow button to change this to 20 406 instead of 2312. 06:22.970 --> 06:24.290 Then press enter. 06:24.680 --> 06:27.230 Then it will ask for a confirmation. 06:27.260 --> 06:33.620 Right now it is asking yes or no and it will consume one, two, four, six MB of additional space. 06:33.620 --> 06:34.910 So I will type y. 06:35.180 --> 06:35.870 Hit enter. 06:35.900 --> 06:39.770 Doesn't matter whether it is small y or capital y, you don't have to worry about that. 06:39.770 --> 06:42.620 So once you press type Y, press enter. 06:42.620 --> 06:45.110 Just wait for openfoam to get installed. 06:45.170 --> 06:48.410 So once the installation is done, I will get back to you. 06:49.940 --> 06:53.210 Okay, now the installation of Openfoam is also done. 06:53.240 --> 06:58.910 But if you see that it is giving us some instructions to do so, now let us do that. 06:59.660 --> 06:59.840 Okay. 06:59.870 --> 07:08.540 To do that just type explorer dot x space dot press enter okay. 07:08.720 --> 07:11.720 Then this window will open. 07:12.770 --> 07:16.880 Here you can see that you have a file called dash dot bash RC. 07:16.910 --> 07:20.450 Now if this file is not there this location is not there. 07:20.450 --> 07:23.240 Then in the terminal you just type CD once. 07:23.240 --> 07:26.630 Then you type the explorer dot txt and it will be fine. 07:26.660 --> 07:33.020 Okay so now you can open this dot bashrc file either in VSCode or in notepad. 07:33.050 --> 07:37.070 So or if you have any other text editor anything is fine. 07:37.190 --> 07:40.550 So once you open that go go to the last line. 07:40.580 --> 07:41.000 Okay. 07:41.030 --> 07:43.400 Just create one more line after the file. 07:43.430 --> 07:44.900 This should be the last line. 07:45.050 --> 07:45.440 Okay. 07:45.470 --> 07:50.060 Now here you have to type this command that is shown here. 07:50.090 --> 07:55.640 Okay Just going to type it out. 07:55.850 --> 07:59.390 You can also copy paste, but I generally like to type it so don't miss. 07:59.390 --> 08:13.730 The dot starts with dot space slash user slash lib slash open form slash open form 20 406 slash ATC 08:13.760 --> 08:15.890 slash bash RC. 08:16.130 --> 08:19.250 So once you type that without any mistakes. 08:19.490 --> 08:21.080 I hope I did not make any mistakes. 08:21.110 --> 08:22.280 Save the file. 08:23.060 --> 08:23.960 Close this. 08:23.990 --> 08:24.980 Close this also. 08:25.010 --> 08:29.270 Then open a new ubuntu. 08:29.870 --> 08:33.920 Okay now you have to type the set of commands that I am telling you. 08:33.950 --> 08:39.500 So mkdir space hyphen p dollar form underscore run. 08:39.500 --> 08:42.050 So notice that form underscore run is capital. 08:42.080 --> 08:43.400 Press enter. 08:43.640 --> 08:44.060 Okay. 08:44.090 --> 08:50.820 Now what we are going to do is we are going to create a location where you can use your open form so 08:50.820 --> 08:52.890 you don't follow any other YouTube tutorial. 08:52.890 --> 08:57.210 They will be using the location where WSL is installed that will cause problems. 08:57.210 --> 09:00.270 So I will tell you this and you follow this all the time. 09:00.270 --> 09:01.980 So go to your drive. 09:01.980 --> 09:05.580 Any drive C or D or E, wherever you have space. 09:05.610 --> 09:10.230 Then create a new folder called Openfoam. 09:10.470 --> 09:16.350 Here you can create another new folder called version 20 406. 09:16.380 --> 09:16.920 Press enter. 09:16.920 --> 09:22.230 I am just doing this because if you want to create any other versions later, then you can have it nicely 09:22.230 --> 09:22.680 there. 09:22.710 --> 09:29.760 Okay, now what we are going to do is going to open the same explorer dot txt space dot. 09:29.790 --> 09:32.760 In this location open the bashrc. 09:42.060 --> 09:53.790 Go to the last line and just type out this command a l I s Equal to open a colon CD space. 09:53.820 --> 09:57.510 Then you have to type slash m and t slash. 09:57.540 --> 10:00.210 Then you just go to this location. 10:00.210 --> 10:03.120 If you are in C drive then you have to type small C. 10:03.150 --> 10:08.430 If you are in D drive with small D for me it's small D slash then this location. 10:08.460 --> 10:16.110 Okay so it's open form slash V2406. 10:16.560 --> 10:18.990 Then close the single quotes. 10:19.020 --> 10:21.210 Now here we have to give this a name. 10:21.210 --> 10:25.170 So I am going to call this off 20 406. 10:25.200 --> 10:25.650 Okay. 10:25.680 --> 10:28.140 There is no space between this and this and all. 10:28.140 --> 10:30.360 So just save this. 10:30.390 --> 10:33.480 Close this bash RC open the sorry. 10:33.510 --> 10:34.590 Close the ubuntu. 10:34.620 --> 10:35.970 Open a new one. 10:37.350 --> 10:37.860 Okay. 10:38.850 --> 10:44.130 So whenever you want to run any open form simulation just type this. 10:44.160 --> 10:46.440 It will take you to this location. 10:46.470 --> 10:46.770 Okay. 10:46.800 --> 10:48.160 This is inside windows. 10:48.190 --> 10:50.860 That is what this m nt m nt means. 10:50.860 --> 10:53.410 So now let's test it. 10:53.560 --> 10:56.740 I am going to create a new file called file. 10:56.770 --> 11:00.400 You can see that it is appearing here instead of w sl location. 11:00.430 --> 11:02.680 So we don't want this file okay. 11:04.270 --> 11:07.450 So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to copy all the tutorials. 11:07.450 --> 11:12.760 If you are familiar with Openfoam, you will know that all the people use the tutorials to do anything 11:12.760 --> 11:13.300 we want. 11:13.300 --> 11:21.160 So the command here is CP space hyphen r dollar home underscore tutorials space dot. 11:21.190 --> 11:22.300 Don't miss the dot. 11:22.300 --> 11:26.350 So once you do that the tutorials folder will be copied here. 11:26.350 --> 11:29.800 If you are completely new to openfoam, just follow this. 11:29.830 --> 11:31.630 Trust me with the process. 11:31.660 --> 11:33.550 Don't worry what this tutorial means. 11:33.550 --> 11:34.690 Why are we doing this and all? 11:34.720 --> 11:41.440 You will get a hold of it later, but for now just copy the tutorials folder here and whenever you are 11:41.440 --> 11:45.490 following any Openfoam tutorial, open this location. 11:45.490 --> 11:48.940 First, type OIF zero six Ubuntu Terminal. 11:48.970 --> 11:54.400 Then you will be able to, uh, get to this location. 11:54.400 --> 12:00.790 Once you get to this location, then you can do the tutorials that they are telling you. 12:00.790 --> 12:07.780 So in fact, we will create one more folder where you will be able to, uh, copy all the tutorials, 12:07.780 --> 12:13.210 create separate folder for all the cases that you are running instead of putting everything in the tutorials. 12:13.210 --> 12:16.630 So we will also create that once this copying is done. 12:16.630 --> 12:23.410 So once your tutorials folder is completely copied, just create a new folder called run. 12:23.440 --> 12:27.940 Then you can enter the folder called run through this okay. 12:27.970 --> 12:32.710 Now in fact you can open this location every time, right? 12:32.740 --> 12:38.560 So when you open a new terminal this will be something like this. 12:38.800 --> 12:39.070 Right. 12:39.100 --> 12:44.170 So once the terminal is open just type of 20 406. 12:44.200 --> 12:45.500 Then it will take you there. 12:45.500 --> 12:47.720 Then you can enter the run location. 12:47.720 --> 12:49.490 So this is where it is. 12:49.520 --> 12:51.800 Then you can run any case that you want. 12:51.800 --> 12:53.480 So there is also another way. 12:53.480 --> 12:55.850 Let's say you are having multiple folder inside run. 12:55.850 --> 12:57.080 Then you have to navigate right. 12:57.110 --> 12:59.660 Instead of that you can just right click here. 12:59.990 --> 13:02.570 Open in terminal okay. 13:02.570 --> 13:04.430 Any location this works for any location. 13:04.430 --> 13:06.320 Open any location in windows. 13:06.380 --> 13:09.290 Just right click open in terminal. 13:10.490 --> 13:15.530 So once it is open in the terminal just type WSL enter. 13:15.560 --> 13:18.350 Then it will open the ubuntu terminal here. 13:18.350 --> 13:23.480 Then you don't have to worry about opening the location through your terminal. 13:23.570 --> 13:27.080 And this will work all the time for any location. 13:27.380 --> 13:28.370 Okay this is open. 13:28.370 --> 13:31.670 So that's it for the installation of Openfoam. 13:31.670 --> 13:34.160 Then you can follow the other tutorials in other videos. 13:34.970 --> 13:36.950 Make sure to like the video if you liked it. 13:37.160 --> 13:39.410 If you have any doubts you can comment down in the video. 13:39.410 --> 13:40.160 Thank you.
