Fenics installed, how to start running it?

Can you give the output of:

sudo find / | grep -i fenic

Thanks

ok, what is the output of:

file /media/XiSkorpius/MaRTiN/FeNiCs

Thanks

That is a folder I created, to put Fenics Tutorials and my outputs.

thanks

DId you install the fenics package? It's available in the repos.....

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install fenics

It's in the universe repo which you may need to enable

I installed it with both synaptics, and the way you recommended, but I
still don't see a way to invoke fenics.

besides, I am behind a proxy, and this apt-get calls won't work most of
the time. Synaptics, however, works.

well? after I did the re-installing with synaptics (because command-line won't work behind the proxy), I still don't know how to activate fenics.

Anyone?

I have just realised that FeNics is not a GUI, but a programming environment which can be invoked through Python.

in a terminal I wrote

python

and then

from dolfin import *
mesh = UnitSquare(4, 4)
plot(mesh)
interactive()

And it works. The rest I think must be to follow FeNics tutorials.
Thanks

I tried the above solution but when I execute the mesh = UnitSquare(4,4) the traceback says UnitSquare is not defined. I am new to both ubuntu linix and Fenincs. Sorry to ask for what is probably hand holding?

@Robert: UnitSquare has been renamed to UnitSquareMesh in later versions of FEniCS. Try:

    mesh = UnitSquareMesh(4, 4)
