‘File’ object has no attribute ‘update’

Make sure to have only one version of owls installed. Furthermore, make sure to install owls via pip install . from within the cloned repository. Slightly more explanation in issue#74.

No such file or directory: ‘blockMesh’

Make sure to have your local openfoam installation sourced. The precompiled binaries from openfoam2212 do not include the blockMesh command. Do not install the openfoam package as this will lead to other errors, even though the blockMesh operation will now be available. Rather compile openfoam2212 from source, see the OpenFOAM2212 documentation.

FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: Wrong token type - expected string, found on line (e.g.) 47: word ‘libOGL.so’

Make sure to not have conflicting openFOAM installations, e.g. openfoam2212 and openfoam (both installed via apt install) Remove the openfoam installation (apt uninstall openfoam). If this error happened after installing openfoam due to a missing operation, e.g. blockMesh see this issue
