Installation problem in OpenFoam

Question

Dear Sir,

I have used Synaptic Package Manager to install OpenFoam. It failed with errors. Following is the list of errors.

Dear Arunendra,

All the above errors are due to the proxy issues in your college. You can try installing OpenFOAM from source pack , but it will take about 5/6 hours. Follow the steps on this link : http://openfoam.org/download/source.php

I hope this works out for you.

Dear Arunendra,

Please mention the version of Ubuntu you are using. Above error also states 'Network is unreachable'. So I am not sure if this is due to proxy. If at all you are behind a proxy-server, please use below syntax(in the terminal) :

export http_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export https_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export ftp_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export socks_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"

for example:

export http_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export https_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export ftp_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export socks_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"


Also you have to configure proxy for synaptic.

edit the file '/etc/apt/apt.conf' and put similar lines into it:

Acquire::http::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::https::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";

for example:

Acquire::https:proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::https:proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
