Axisymmetric2D example no solving

I tried to go through this tutorial. things went well just before solving. this is the error I got:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown TurbulenceModel type RASModel

Valid TurbulenceModel types:

3
(
LES
RAS
laminar
)

As explained in this page apparently the syntax of turbulenceProperties in case/constant has changed.

I edited the turbulenceProperties file from:
simulationType RASModel;

to

`
simulationType RAS;

RAS
{
RASModel kEpsilon;

turbulence      on;

printCoeffs     on;
}

`

and now I get a new error:

FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

FOAM exiting

From this page it seems that either there is something wrong in the format (e.g. typing mistake) or obviously this tutorial is for an old depriciated version of OpenFOAM.

I was able to resolve the issue. I have explained the solution here in this post.
