You could run the quickstart tutorial. > **[Quickstart | preCICE - The Coupling Library](https://precice.org/quickstart.html)** > > Install preCICE on Linux (e.g. via a Debian package) and couple an OpenFOAM fluid solver (using the OpenFOAM-preCICE adapter) with an example rigid body solv... ---

This is the order i installed. 1)installed precice and dependencies. 2) Downloaded the openfoam tar ball and followed these steps wget [https://github.com/precice/openfoam-adapter/releases/download/v1.0.0/openfoam-adapter\_v1.0.0\_OpenFOAM7\_experimental.tar.gz](https://github.com/precice/openfoam-adapter/releases/download/v1.0.0/openfoam-adapter_v1.0.0_OpenFOAM7_experimental.tar.gz) tar -xf openfoam-adapter\_v1.0.0\_OpenFOAM7\_experimental.tar.gz ./Allwmake -j After running all make this is the Allwmake.log file. I am not sure if there is an issue with install? cat Allwmake.log Building the OpenFOAM-preCICE adapter… Thanks Nandini ---

Which OS do you use? Could you please upload the complete output of `./Allwmake` ? ---

I am using Centos. My question is should i need openfoam installed before installed openfoam addapter? And also there is nothing in the logs except cat Allwmake.log Building the OpenFOAM-preCICE adapter… This is the output of Allwmake.log. Nandini ---

Seems like sth is wrong with your OpenFOAM installation. Normally, you should get sth like ```bash Building the OpenFOAM adapter for preCICE... Current OpenFOAM environment: WM_PROJECT = OpenFOAM WM_PROJECT_VERSION = v2012 The adapter will be built into: ADAPTER_TARGET_DIR = /home/uekermbn/OpenFOAM/uekermbn-v2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib The following building options will be used: ADAPTER_PREP_FLAGS = ADAPTER_WMAKE_OPTIONS = Dependencies (preCICE) will be located using the following environment variables: ADAPTER_PRECICE_ROOT = /home/uekermbn/Repos/precice preCICE dependencies: not specified (ok if preCICE is built as a shared library) ADAPTER_PKG_CONFIG_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include ADAPTER_PKG_CONFIG_LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lprecice ADAPTER_GLOBAL_CPLUS_INC_PATHS = -I/home/uekerman/Software/yaml-cpp/yaml-cpp-yaml-cpp-0.7.0/include -I/home/uekermbn/Repos/precice/src ADAPTER_GLOBAL_LD_LIBRARY_PATHS = -L/usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/sys-openmpi -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib -L/home/uekermbn/OpenFOAM/uekermbn-v2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib -L/usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2012/site/2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib -L/usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib -L/usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2012/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/dummy -L/home/uekermbn/Repos/precice/build/last/ ADAPTER_GLOBAL_LIBRARY_PATHS = -L/home/uekerman/Software/yaml-cpp/yaml-cpp-yaml-cpp-0.7.0/build -L/home/uekermbn/Repos/precice/build/last Building with WMake (see the wmake.log log file)... === OK: Building completed successfully! === ``` Can you run normal OpenFOAM simulations? ---
