Hi
you need to run this from an OpenFOAM aware terminal. Either start CAELinux-> OpenFoam Terminal or open a standard terminal and source the OpenFoam environment:
source /opt/.bashrc-OpenFOAM
or if you have a custom install:
source /opt/openfoam201/etc/bashrc
then it should work.

Hello
if you are running CAELinux 2013, you should use the specific link Applications->Education->OpenFOAM 2.1.1 terminal to have terminal with all the variables set properly.
If you are not running a stock CAELinux install, then you need to set the environement manualy by sourcing the /opt/openfoamXXX/etc/bashrc file before you can use OpenFOAM.
For example in CAELinux 2013, OpenFOAM 2.1.1 is installed, so you should start a terminal, and then
and then all the OpenFOAM commands will be available in that terminal until you close it. So make sure that you use that terminal for the tutorial!
If it does not work, please check if/which version of OpenFOAM is installed by looking at the output of
and then adapt the path to /opt/openfoamXX/etc/bashrc accordingly
