Hi there!

Usually you can find most software in Trisquel repositories and then the install is trivial via the package manager (or command line.) This doesn't seem to be the case now.

Looks like OpenFOAM (and paraview) are free software, so let's see how it could be done.

Following and adapting the instructions from this page http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php

Installing packages from 3rd party repositories can be risky. The first command adds such a repository.

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu Oneiric main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install openfoam211 paraviewopenfoam3120

(You might also be interested in Code Saturne or Gerris Flow Solver programs which are in the repos and can be installed with

sudo apt-get install code-saturne
or
sudo apt-get install gerris)
