Изберете вашата операционна система
FreeCAD е напълно мулти-платформена програма разработена върху световно известния Qt фреймуърк. Блгаодарение на това FreeCAD изглежда и работи по един и същ начин на Windows, Linux и Mac. Въпреки това процедурата по инсталиране е различна на трите операционни системи. Кликнете върху вашата операционна система за специфични инструкции за инсталация.

Инсталиране на допълнителни компоненти
Освен включените по подразбиране в FreeCAD работни плотове и модули, общността от потребители публикува постоянно растяща колекция от модули в интернет. Има няколко проекта да се обединят и организират тези модули, описани по-долу.

Тъй като тези проекти не са част от официалната FreeCAD дистрибуция и не се поддържат от разработчиците на FreeCAD, моля прочетете информацията за всеки модул на неговата страница преди да инсталирате. Също за доклади за бъгове в допълнителни модули моля обърнете се към разработчиците на съотвения модул.

Онлайн Хранилище на FreeCAD добавки
As of FreeCAD 0.17, the addons can be managed directly from the menu, so there is no need to install the macro mentioned here.

Хранилището на добавки и модули е базирано на git submodules системата, която позволява постоянно обновяване на компонените. Хранилището може да бъде намерено на https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons. То съдържа макрос за инсталиране които може да бъде пуснат от FreeCAD. Макросът изрежда всички достъпни добавки, автоматично сваля и инсталира всички избрани добавки. За да инсталирате макроса:

With FreeCAD 0.17 and higher install use the Addon Manager.


 * 1) Кликнете с десния бутон на мишката на addons_installer.FCMacro и изберете Save as...(Запазете като)
 * 2) Сложете сваления макрос в директорията FreeCAD Macros folder. Ако не знаете къде се намира тази директория, може да видите в менюто Macros -> Macros -> User macros location:
 * 1) Рестайтирайте FreeCAD. Макроса за инсталиране на добавки вече ще бъде в менюто Macro -> Macros и може да бъде пуснат като го селектирате и натиснете върху бутона Execute':

Добавката "pluginloader"
Добавката "plugin loader" е по сложен начин за инсталиране и контролиране на добавки в FreeCAD. Инсталирайте го използвайки горния макрос, или като следвате инструкциите на тази страница.

The pluginloader addon has been superceded by the Addon Manager.

Ръчна инсталация
Външните модули написани изцяло на Python (в момента всичките) могат да се инсталират ръчно като първи ги свалим (обикновенно като натискаме бутона **Download ZIP** в горната част на страницата на модула в github) и след това ги поставим в вашата FreeCAD/Mod директория (или в директорията Macros ако сваляте нов макрос). Вижте страницата на съответния модул за по-подробни инструкции.

Бележка за потребители на 32-bit системи със FreeCAD 0.16.6706
След опит за инсталация новте модули може да не са достъпни. В такъв случай
 * задръжете панела Report отворен докато стартирате FreeCAD, и прочетете грешката която се изписва там

External software supported by FreeCAD
FreeCAD supports a whole lot of external software packages out of the box. This means, you just need to install the software and it will be automatically available, the next time you start it. There's no need to recompile it. This section aims to provide a list of all such software packages, together with some information of where it's used in FreeCAD and where you can grab them.

CAD Exchanger
A proprietary, closed source application for exchanging various file formats used in CAD. You can use it to convert proprietary, closed formats into a format which is accessible by FreeCAD. The homepage is at https://cadexchanger.com/ where you can download an evaluation version or purchase a license for the application.

CalculiX
CalculiX is a suite of two finite element packages:
 * CalculiX CrunchiX, or, is a FEM solver.
 * CalculiX GraphiX, or, is a GUI frontend to display the results of the solver.

Only the solver is supported by FreeCAD. It can be accessed from the FEM Workbench through. There's a standard and experimental solver supported by FreeCAD. CalculiX can be downloaded from http://calculix.de

DXF Importer
FreeCAD has a native importer and exporter for DXF files, programmed in C++. Currently this importer does not implement all features of the DXF format. If you rely on a not yet implemented feature, you enable an older python based importer/exporter through by activating the  option. You can then choose to let FreeCAD automatically download the needed files or you can grab them from https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/Draft-dxf-importer. The chosen importer / exporter is used by selecting or  and choosing the  file format.

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
A python library which is used to interact with Git repositories. The feature is currently in development status in FreeCAD. The Addon Manager can use this library to import addons from a Git repository. The project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython.

Gmsh
A 3D automatic finite element mesh generator. It can be used in FreeCAD from the FEM workbench through. The homepage of gmsh is at 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. The homepage for the current LuxCoreRender project is at https://www.luxcorerender.org.

OpenFOAM
A library for Field Operation and Manipulation (FOAM), which is needed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. As such, OpenFOAM is needed by the FEM workbench of FreeCAD. You can access it through the submenu. The project resides at https://openfoam.org.

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. FreeCAD can import and export files created from OpenSCAD through the and  menus by the selecting the  or the  file types. You can get OpenSCAD from https://www.openscad.org.

POVRay
POVRay is a well-known raytracer which can render photorealistic images. It is one of two raytracers currently supported by FreeCAD in the Raytracing Workbench. You can download POVRay from https://www.povray.org.
