Install on Unix/sv

För tillfället, så erbjuder FreeCAD teamet endast installerare för 32bit Debian och Ubuntu system, men en del medlemmar av FreeCADs användargrupp erbjuder även anpassade installerare för andra Linuxvarianter. Ta en titt på Nedladdningssidan sidan för att se vad som för tillfället finns tillgängligt.

Once you've got FreeCAD installed, it's time to get started!

Installation på Debian/Ubuntu system
När du har laddat ned den .deb som motsvarar din systemversion, och om du har Gdebi paketet installerat (det är det vanligtvis), så behöver du bara navigera till där du laddade ned filen, och dubbelklicka på den. Nödvändiga beroenden kommer att tas hand om automatiskt av din pakethanterare. Alternativt, så kan du även installera den från terminalen, genom att navigera till där du laddade ned filen, och skriva:

sudo dpkg -i Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb

byt Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb till namnet på den fil som du laddade ned.

Efter att du har installerat FreeCAD, så kommer en startikon läggas till i "Grafik" sektionen i din startmeny.

Many Linux distributions are based on Ubuntu and share its repositories. Besides official variants (Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu), there are non official distros such as Linux Mint, Voyager and others. The installation options below should be compatible to these systems.

Official Ubuntu repository
FreeCAD is available from Ubuntu repositories and can be installed via the Software Center or with this command in a terminal:

But chances are this version will be outdated, and not have the latest features.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 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? if you don't know how):

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:

Then:

Unstable version of FreeCAD
If you want to be on the bleeding edge of FreeCAD development, there is a different PPA repository providing daily builds.

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:

OpenSUSE
FreeCAD is typically installed with:

Gentoo
FreeCAD can be built/installed simply by issuing:

Other
If you find out that your system features FreeCAD but is not documented in this page, please tell us on the forum!

Many alternative, non-official 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.

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 file, 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 file, and type:

changing Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb by the name of the file you downloaded.

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

Installera på andra Linux/Unix system
Olyckligtvis finns det för tillfället inga förkompilerade paket för andra Linux/Unix system, så du får kompilera FreeCAD själv.

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