Purpose and Intro

Having an OpenSUSE shell on Win10 with OpenFOAM installed is of great advantage for Windows users that do not want to have a dual-boot or virtual maschine installed. I recommend the "shell on Win10" solution especially for installations on laptops, and users that would like to run simple cases and do not care about performance too much. It is hence ideal for beginners, students, and instructors that work with Windows users.

Note, some Linux users prefer the Ubuntu distribution. You will find Win10 shell tutorials for Ubuntu for example HERE (Jozsef Nagy's work).

How to install OpenFOAM in Windows 10 using an OpenSUSE Leap 42 shell

This section explains how to setup an OpenSUSE Leap 42 shell in Windows 10, and install OpenFOAM from source. The beautiful thing with such a "from source" installation is that you add libraries, solvers, external tools like CFDEM etc. as you need.

File Structure and Arrangement

You need to be careful with the file structure, since this may mess up your OpenSUSE shell.
