Error 420: paraView not found, after typing in 'paraFoam' in terminal [OpenFOAM]

266 Views Asked by At

I have lately installed OpenFoam v.2212.0 on UBUNTU 22.04.0. All the other OpenFoam commands work fine for me, but as soon as I type "paraFoam", I get the following error:


Invalid $PV_PLUGIN_PATH and -plugin-path= not defined

No supplementary ParaView/OpenFOAM reader modules

Using builtin reader: paraFoam -vtk

Created temporary 'damBreak.foam'

/usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2212/bin/paraFoam: 420: paraview: not found

Installation Path: /usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2212/bin/paraFoam (I have navigated myself there using terminal commands and it is there where it needs to be)

Command typed in '.bashrc' prior to installing as per installation instructions:

source /usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2212/etc/bashrc

I am new user of Ubuntu Linux and would be very grateful if someone can direct me to a possible fix.

I downloaded paraview from the web and also had this error.

These are steps that I had followed:

  1. Delete paraview
  2. Type sudo apt-get install paraview in ubuntu terminal

With these steps, after meshing with blockMesh, typing paraFoam works perfectly.
