Hello,
I did install CFDoF and I run the dependency check. Everything is set up properly but the system does not recognize gmsh
I am running a custom installation of gmsh 4.8.4 downloaded from this page https://gmsh.info/, that I just extracted in my home folder
My gmsh executable is recognized easily by the FEM wb, providing the correct path of the gmsh folder, but CFDoF seems unable to scan/access the same path (in my mind it could be reasonable for CFDoF wb to check the dependency already specified for FEM wb, but actually this is not the case in Freecad 0.19.2)
How can I fix this issue without installing twice gmsh in different paths?
Thank you,
Rock

Re: gmsh not found
At this point, gmsh needs to be in your path. So putting a symlink to the executable in somewhere like ~/bin (if that is in your path) is probably the best way.rock.vice wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 9:00 am Hello,
