Confused in installation of CFDEM

Hi Everyone,

I am new to OpenFoam and CFDEM. I have been trying to install CFDEM and I am stuck in activating the new bashrc file. After I execute this:

#- set the cfdem environment variables correctly
gedit $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/bashrc &

Should I paste the contents in the bashrc file in home directory or just activate the bashrc using command . ~/.bashrc?

I tried both, and I find this in my bashrc file:

#- source OpenFOAM-1.7.x
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/etc/bashrc
#- enable parallel compiling
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2
#- source OpenFOAM-1.7.x
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/etc/bashrc
#- enable parallel compiling
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2
#- source OpenFOAM-1.7.x
. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/etc/bashrc
#- enable parallel compiling
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2
and this goes on and on until I stop the activation by CTRL C. I am quite new to Linux too. It is quite strange that the above messages have 1.7.x version while I am installing 2.1.0 version of OpenFoam.

Where am I going wrong? I would appreciate any help in this regard from the CFDEM community.

Warm regards,

Apurv
