[SOLVED]archlinux + openFOAM

Hello. This is my first topic on this forum. Any problems I got with Arch was solved in doc / other forum topics. However, I want ask about OpenFOAM. ArchLinux Repository list have OpenFOAM package included, when I type in terminal...

pacman -Ss openfoam

...nothing happend. I upgraded my repo list and added German serwers.

Is there any way to install OpenFOAM using pacman ?

I don't think so.
Some packages are in unofficial repositories https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … positories , you can have a look there.

Re: [SOLVED]archlinux + openFOAM

You should first learn to use pure makepkg & pacman.
packer is an unofficial, unsupported tool: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers
