Installing/zh-cn

选择你操作系统
FreeCAD 是一个真正的跨平台应用程序，基于世界知名的 Qt 框架之上. 这意味着 FreeCAD 外观和行为与在 Windows, Linux 和 Mac 上是一致的. 然而，安装过程在每个操作系统上是有所不同的. 在下面选择你的操作系统以获得更多细节关于如何安装 FreeCAD.

安装额外的内容
脱机文档不随所有安装程序一起发送, 并且可用作单独的包. 请参阅此处 安装帮助文档.

除了默认捆绑在 FreeCAD 的 工作台 以外，还有由社区成员制作的一堆很有用额外工作台和模块在网络持续增长. 几个进行中的成果是收集它们和令它们方便地展示给你. 下面是它们的列表.

因为这些工作台不是官方 FreeCAD 包并且没有被 FreeCAD 团队直接支持，所以你在安装它们之前应该先阅读每个扩展页上面的信息，以确定你知道你在安装些什么. 并且，BUG 报告和特性请求应该直接写于每个扩展页上.

FreeCAD 扩展仓库
及至FreeCAD 0.17版时，可直接用菜单来管理插件，因此便无需按此前提到的安装宏的方式来管理插件.

通过 git submodules 系统（允许保证不变的更新内容）收集了有用的工作台. 这个 FreeCAD 扩展仓库在 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons. 这个仓库实现了一个可以从 FreeCAD 中启动的宏安装器，这样就能自动列举、下载和安装任何扩展. 安装宏安装器：

在FreeCAD 0.17及其更高版本上请用插件管理器来安装扩展插件.


 * 1) 右键点击 addons_installer.FCMacro 并且选择另存为...
 * 2) 放置下载后的宏到你的 FreeCAD 宏目录. FreeCAD 宏目录位置指示在菜单 Macros -> Macros -> User macros location：
 * 1) 重启 FreeCAD. 扩展安装器现在会展示在菜单 Macro -> Macros 中并且能通过选择它并点击 Execute 按钮操作：

插件加载器扩展
这个插件加载器是一个用于安装和管理 FreeCAD 额外内容更精细的方式. 通过以上的方法安装它，或者跟随下面的指令 pluginloader 页.

pluginloader扩展插件已被插件管理器取代.

手工安装
全部由 python 编程的外部工作台（它们现在几乎都在编写时使用此方式）能随时很容易地手工安装，简单地下载它们（通常只需要在每个 github 扩展页上点击 **Download ZIP** 按钮），并且放置它们到你的用户 FreeCAD/Mod 目录（或者宏目录，如果他们是宏）. 参考每个扩展页的资料以获得更完整的步骤说明.

使用 32位系统 和 FreeCAD 0.16.6706 版本的用户说明
安装之后，在以下情况，额外的工作区可能不会出现：
 * 在启动 FreeCAD 时保持报告面板一直打开，然后就读到错误
 * 参考这个论坛主题: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=12839#p102933

FreeCAD支持的外部软件
FreeCAD支持大量开包即用的外部软件. 这就意味着：您只需简单地安装想用的软件，在下次重新开启FreeCAD后便可自动在其中使用此软件了. 此过程中无需对其进行重新编译. 本节的目标便是提供所有此类软件包的列表，同时给出在FreeCAD中使用这些软件的有关信息以及它们的获取方式.

CAD Exchanger
此为一种用于交换CAD中所用各种文件格式的专用闭源应用程序. 您可以用它把专有闭源的格式转换为FreeCAD可访问的格式. 本工具的主页为https://cadexchanger.com/，在此，您可以下载该软件的评估版或购买该软件的使用许可.

CalculiX
CalculiX是两种有限元包的组合套件：
 * CalculiX CrunchiX, 或为一种有限元求解器（FEM solver）.
 * CalculiX GraphiX, 或为一种显示求解器计算结果的GUI前端.

这是FreeCAD中唯一默认支持的求解器. 可以从有限元工作台（FEM Workbench）中的来访问它. 这是FreeCAD中支持的一个标准且具实验性的功能. 可从calculix.de来下载CalculiX.

DXF Importer
FreeCAD中有一个以C++编写的DXF原生导入、导出工具. 此导入器当前还未实现DXF格式的所有特性. 如果您用到了那些还没有实现的特性，可通过在中选择选项来开启基于python的旧版导入/导出工具. 您还可以通过选项令FreeCAD自动从https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/Draft-dxf-importer下载所需文件，或自己手动下载. 被选中的导入 / 导出工具用于实现 或 中文件格式的导入导出工作. （译注：简而言之，原生导入导出器有新旧两种，旧版以python编写，功能完整但速度较慢；新版由C++编写，速度快但功能还未完整实现. ）

Elmer
Elmer is a multi-physics simulation software, which was open sourced in 2005. In FreeCAD its Grid and Solver modules can be used by the FEM Workbench through. The project's homepage is at https://www.elmerfem.org and it can be downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/releases.

FEniCS
FEniCS is a computing platform to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), which are widely used when solving FEM problems. As such it can be used by the FEM workbench. FreeCAD can import and export FEniCS meshes through and  by selecting the  file format. The homepage of FEniCS is at https://fenicsproject.org.

GitPython
一种用于与Git仓库进行交互的python库. FreeCAD中的此功能在还处于开发状态中. 插件管理器可利用此库从Git仓库中导入各种扩展插件. 此项目托管在GitHub中的https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython.

Gmsh
一种3D有限元网格自动生成器. 可在FreeCAD的有限元工作台（FEM workbench）中，通过来使用它. gmsh的主页位于http://www.geuz.org/gmsh

LuxCoreRender
LuxCoreRender, also known as LuxRender, is one of two currently supported render engines in FreeCAD. It is used through the workflow on the Raytracing Workbench. Currently only the old and abandoned LuxRender-1.x is supported by FreeCAD. If you want help to update to the new LuxCoreRender-2, get in touch with the Raytracing project team. Downloads for LuxRender-1.6 can be grabbed from the LuxCoreRender GitHub release page at https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/releases.

OpenSCAD
The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller is another CAD software, based on Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). This means, it can not handle meshes, but operates exclusively on solid geometry.
