    Install on Unix - FreeCAD Documentation

    Install on Unix
    From FreeCAD Documentation
    The installation of FreeCAD on the most well-known linux
    systems has been now endorsed by the community, and
    FreeCAD should be directly available via the package manager
    available on your distribution. The FreeCAD team also provides
    a couple of "oicial" packages when new releases are made,
    and a couple of experimental PPA repositories for testing
    bleeding-edge features.
    Once you've got FreeCAD installed, it's time to get started!

    Xubuntu), there are non oicial distros such as Linux Mint,


    Voyager and others. The installation options below should be
    compatible to these systems.

    Oicial Ubuntu repository


    FreeCAD is available from Ubuntu repositories and can be
    installed via the Software Center or with this command in a
    terminal:
    sudo apt-get install freecad

    But chances are this version will be outdated, and not have the
    latest features.

    Latest Stable Release from the PPA


    The FreeCAD community provides a PPA repository on
    Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers
    /+archive/freecad-stable) with the latest stable FreeCAD
    version.
    Installing from the GUI
    Add to your system's Software Sources the following PPA (read
    What are PPAs and how do I use them? (http://askubuntu.com
    /questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-usethem/5102#5102%29) if you don't know how):
    ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable

    When a dialog window asks you to refresh your software


    sources, click OK.
    Now you can install FreeCAD and FreeCAD documentation
    through the Ubuntu Software Center, or your package manager
    of choice.

    Installing from the console


    Type (or copy-paste) these commands in a console to add the
    PPA and install FreeCAD along with the documentation:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable

    Then:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install freecad freecad-doc

    Unstable version of FreeCAD


    If you want to be on the bleeding edge of FreeCAD
    development, there is a dierent PPA repository providing daily
    builds (http://www.freecadweb.org
    /wiki/index.php?title=Download#Ubuntu_PPA_packages).

    Debian and other debian-based


    systems
    Since Debian Lenny, FreeCAD is available directly from the
    Debian software repositories and can be installed via synaptic
    or simply with:
    sudo apt-get install freecad

    OpenSUSE
    FreeCAD is typically installed with:
    zypper install FreeCAD

    Gentoo

    FreeCAD can be built/installed simply by issuing:


    emerge freecad

    If you nd out that your system features FreeCAD but is not
    documented in this page, please tell us on the forum
    (http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=21)!
    Many alternative, non-oicial FreeCAD packages are available
    on the net, for example for systems like slackware or fedora. A
    search on the net can quickly give you some results.

    Manual install on .deb based systems


    If for some reason you cannot use one of the above methods,
    you can always download one of the .deb packages available on
    the Download page.
    Ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers
    /+archive/freecad-stable) 32/64bit
    Once you downloaded the .deb corresponding to your system
    version, if you have the Gdebi package installed (usually it is),
    you just need to navigate to where you downloaded the le,
    and double-click on it. The necessary dependencies will be
    taken care of automatically by your system package manager.
    Alternatively you can also install it from the terminal,
    navigating to where you downloaded the le, and type:
    sudo dpkg -i Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb

    changing Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb by the name of


    the le you downloaded.
    After you installed FreeCAD, a startup icon will be added in the
    "Graphic" section of your Start Menu.

    Installing on other Linux/Unix systems


    Unfortnately, at the moment, no precompiled package is
    available for other Linux/Unix systems,so you will need to
    compile FreeCAD yourself.
