Hello cfdOF team,
First of all, congratulations for your amazing efforts!
I have a question regarding installation of cfMesh and HISA. How can I make the installation/compilation available to all the users on the same machine? By default, they are compiled into /home/<user>/OpenFOAM/<user>-6/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin.
I guess there are some magic environment variable to set up for ''wmake'' to build in a common repository (something like /opt/openfoam-6-additional would be perfect).
multi-user install

At the moment the executables build to $FOAM_USER_APPBIN and the libraries to $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN. You could try moving them to $FOAM_SITE_APPBIN and $FOAM_SITE_LIBBIN instead. If you open a terminal and first enternic wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 1:23 pm Hello cfdOF team,

Hello Oliver,
Systems used are Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10. I can confirm that those environment variables exist (at least on 18.10, no access to 18.04 right now) and point to the appropriate locations. I'll modify my ansible's role accordingly and let you know if the results are as expected.
Thanks for your support
