Steps to Install AcuSolve Linux Version in Silent Mode

  1. Make the installer executable.
    Run the following command to ensure that the installer has execute permissions:
    chmod +x hwCFDSolvers2025_linux64.bin
  2. Create a response file.
    Use a text editor, for example, nano or vi, to create a file named response with the following content:

    # Accept License Agreement

    ACCEPT_EULA=YES

    # Choose Install Folder

    USER_INSTALL_DIR=/altair/hw/2025

    # Change Shortcut Folder (Local)

    SET_START_MENU_FOLDER=Altair 2025

    INSTALL_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0

    # Enter License Path Location

    ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH=6200@altair.com

    Save the file in the same directory as the installer.
  3. Run the installer.
    Execute the following command to perform a silent installation using the response file:

    ./hwCFDSolvers2025_linux64.bin -i silent -f response

  4. Source the AcuSolve script.
    After installation, source the AcuSolve environment script to set up the necessary environment variables:
    source /altair/hw/2025/altair/hwcfdsolvers/acusolve/linux64/script/acusim.sh
    To make this persistent, add the source command to your .bashrc file:
    echo 'source /altair/hw/2025/altair/hwcfdsolvers/acusolve/linux64/script/acusim.sh ' >> ~/.bashrc
  5. Verify the installation.
    To verify, run the following command and ensure no errors are reported:
    acuRun -version
    Note:
    • Replace /altair/hw with your desired installation path.
    • Make sure the license server (6200@altair.com) is reachable from your machine.
