| Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on installing and running '''PyFoam'''

|-
| 00:07
| In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install and check '''PyFoam''' and the required steps for the same.

|-
| 00:17
| What is '''PyFoam'''

|-
| 00:19
| Checking installation of '''OpenFOAM'''

|-
| 00:22
| Installing '''Python, Numpy and Gnuplot '''

|-
| 00:27
| Install '''PyFoam''' using '''pip'''

|-
| 00:30
| Install '''PyFoam''' using sources

|-
| 00:33
| And Check if '''PyFoam''' is working

|-
| 00:38
| To record this tutorial I am using
'''Ubuntu Linux''' Operating system '''14.04'''

|-
| 00:45
| '''OpenFOAM''' version 2.3.0

|-
| 00:48
| Note that '''PyFoam''' will also work with '''OpenFoam v1.6 and above '''

|-
| 00:55
| To practice this tutorial, the user should have Basic knowledge of '''Linux terminal commands'''

|-
| 01:02
| Experience with running and analyzing '''OpenFOAM''' cases

|-
| 01:07
| If not, please go through the '''Linux''' tutorial series on this website

|-
| 01:13
| What is '''PyFoam? '''

|-
| 01:15
| '''PyFoam''' is a collection of Python libraries and utilities

|-
| 01:20
| It can be used to manipulate '''OpenFOAM simulations'''

|-
| 01:25
| It is Designed to make working with '''OpenFOAM''' easier

|-
| 01:29
| '''PyFoam''' can be also be used for '''iteratively''' running '''simulations'''

|-
| 01:34
| automate data collection

|-
| 01:37
| parametrically modify case files and many other such useful activities.

|-
| 01:44
| Note that '''PyFoam '''works over '''OpenFOAM'''

|-
| 01:48
| So, we need to always have an installation of '''OpenFOAM''' in our computer.

|-
| 01:54
| First we check if our installation of '''OpenFOAM''' has been done properly.

|-
| 02:00
| Open the '''terminal''', and type '''icoFoam space hyphen help'''

|-
| 02:07
| You should get the details of''' icoFoam''' and '''OpenFOAM''' version and help text

|-
|02:15
| Now we will install the necessary prerequisites for '''PyFoam''', such as '''Python, Pip, Numpy''' and '''Gnuplot''' using the '''terminal'''.

|-
| 02:29
| First we will type - '''sudo apt-get install python hyphen dev '''and press '''Enter'''.

|-
| 02:39
| After this, type '''sudo apt-get install python-pip '''and press '''Enter'''.

|-
| 02:49
| Then, type '''pip install Numpy'''

|-
| 02:53
| Then, type '''sudo apt-get install gnuplot space gnuplot hyphen x11 '''and press '''Enter'''.

|-
| 03:04
| With this we are done with installing the pre-requisites.

|-
|03:09
| Now we will install '''PyFoam''' using '''pip'''.

|-
| 03:13
| Open the '''terminal''' and type: '''pip install PyFoam '''

|-
|03:20
| We can also install '''PyFoam''' from '''source'''

|-
| 03:24
| To do so, open the browser and in the URL window, type '''http://www.pypi.com'''
Search for '''PyFoam '''

|-
| 03:38
| Download '''PyFoam-0.6.5.tar.gz'''

|-
| 03:46
| In the '''terminal''', go to '''Downloads folder'''. Type '''tar -xvf space PyFoam hyphen 0.6.5.tar.gz '''

|-
| 04:00
| Then Type '''cd''' followed by the name of the folder '''PyFoam hyphen 0.6.5'''

|-
| 04:07
| After this, type '''sudo python setup dot py' space install'''

|-
| 04:16
| Now we have to check if '''PyFoam''' is detecting '''OpenFoam''' and working properly.

|-
| 04:22
| Switch to '''terminal''' again.

|-
| 04:25
| Type '''python''' . Type '''import PyFoam'''

'''import PyFoam dot FoamInformation '''

|-
| 04:35
| Then type '''print PyFoam dot FoamInformation dot foamTutorials''' followed by open-close brackets.

|-
| 04:45
| This should print the directory of the '''OpenFOAM Tutorials'''.

|-
| 04:50
| Now let us summarise. In this tutorial, we learnt about '''PyFoam'''.

|-
| 04:55
| We also learnt to check the installation of '''OpenFoam'''

|-
| 05:00
| Install '''PyFoam''' using '''pip'''

|-
| 05:03
| install '''PyFoam''' using '''sources''' and check if '''PyFoam''' is working

|-
| 05:09
| Please post your timed queries in this forum.

|-
| 05:13
| Please post your general queries on OpenFOAM in this forum.

|-
|05:18
| The '''FOSSEE '''team coordinates the TBC project.
