Download the .debfile from https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/re...
Try to install it. Rather than just double clicking it, use sudo dpkg -i OpenStudio-xxxx.deb (the xxxx portion will depend on which release you selected, eg OpenStudio-2.4.0.978a4d7e98-Linux.deb for the current latest), as it will be more verbose as far as dependency issues.
I would bet that in 99% of the cases you're going to run into dependencies issues: there are dependencies expected such as libwxgtk3.0-0 but you can only find libwxgtk3.0-0v5 or libwxgtk3.0-dev in official sources for Xenial (16.04).
The way I resolved this issue is to download the packages from Trusty (14.04): https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package..., which also needed https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package....
So, to recap, do it in this order: Install libwxbase3.0-0, then libwxgtk3.0-0, then OpenStudio deb package.
EDIT:
I think the Pull Request I just made, #3133, will fix this dependency issue (worked on my machine at least).
The erorr message is quite clear, you already have libwxbase-3.0-0v5 installed... Try sudo apt remove libwxbase
Ok, glad you found something that works. (For the record, I fixed this dependency problem recently, so if you try the latest openstudio version, it should install without any problems on Ubuntu)
I've try to install following Julien's answer but i can't solve package dependencies, so i've decided to install from Sources last OpenStudio 2.4.0 version into Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits operating system ok :), following this steps:
If .zip: unzip file.zip -d dest_folder or if .tar.gz: tar xf file.tar.gz -C dest_folder
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev git cmake-curses-gui cmake-gui libssl-dev libxt-dev libncurses5-dev libgl1-mesa-dev autoconf libexpat1-dev libpng12-dev libfreetype6-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxi-dev libxrender-dev libgeographiclib-dev chrpath
Install cmake from source:
cmake --version
sudo apt-get install autotools autotools-dev automake
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ../openstudiocore
press c to configure, and then press g to generate
make GenerateIddFactory
make GenerateIddFactoryRun
(still inside build directory)
(process run during a long time: hours)
sudo make install
OpenStudio installed from sources ok :)
To Get EnergyPlus version:
openstudio energyplus_version
To Run OpenStudioApp application:
You can safely use a newer cmake, I use 3.9.4 for example.
