Hey, i am totally new in CFDEM and i have already problems with the installation of CFDEM. i followed the instructions on githubAccess_public.pdf but there is still a problem:
after i updated CFDEM coupling (which was not needed to be updated) i wantedt to set the environmental variables. i followed the instructions and add the lines in the ~/.bashrc but there is still the message that there is no directory after i typed in the other commands:
$CFDEM_PROJECT_DIR
$CFDEM_SRC_DIR
$CFDEM_LIGGGHTS_SRC_DIR
what went wrong? i appreciate your help and advices!
best regards

Hello Rashid,
Hello Rashid,
after adding the lines to the .bashrc file, you need to open a new terminal. Otherwise it is possible that the chages are not yet effective, even despite possibliy having typed "bash". In case the error-message persists, make sure that the location, given by the variable, and the location, where you copied the sources are the same...
Cheers,
Alice

Hello alice,
Hello alice,
thank you for the answer. Unfortunatley i wasnt able to take a look at your answer and also not able to conitinue with the installation process until now. I did the things yoi adviced to me. Actually i am not sure if i understood the commands correctly so i desribe you what i did.
1) open terminal and execute command: gedit ~/.bashrc &
2) after that i have the bash on my screen with the following line on top of it:
#- source opt/openfoam220/etc
do i have completly add the lines, which are descibed on the githubacces.pdf without changing the line "#- source opt/openfoam220/etc" ?
its not working (directory not found) when i just add the lines neither when i replace this line with : #- source cfdem env vars
3) which location should be the same?
thank you very much!

could this problem have
could this problem have something to do with the fact that i have openfoam2.2.0 and openfoam 2.2.2. in my ubuntu version. openfoam 2.2.2. was installed due to the advice of the guthubaccess.pdf.
