安装-Windows

<translate> The easiest way to install FreeCAD on Windows is to download the installer below.

Windows.png Windows 32 bits

Windows.png Windows 64 bits


After downloading the .msi (Microsoft Installer) file, just double-click on it to start the installation process.

Below is more information about technical options. If it looks daunting, don't worry! Most Windows users will not need anything more than the .msi to install FreeCAD and Get started!


Simple Microsoft Installer Installation

The easiest way to install FreeCAD on Windows is by using the installer above. This page describes the usage and the features of the Microsoft Installer for more installation options.

If you would like to download either a 64 bit or unstable development version, see the Download page.


Command Line Installation

With the msiexec.exe command line utility, additional features are available, like non-interactive installation and administrative installation.

Non-interactive Installation

With the command line </translate> 

 msiexec /i FreeCAD<version>.msi

<translate> installation can be initiated programmatically. Additional parameters can be passed at the end of this command line, like </translate> 

msiexec /i FreeCAD-2.5.msi TARGETDIR=r:\FreeCAD25

<translate>

Limited user interface

The amount of user interface that installer displays can be controlled with /q options, in particular:

Target directory

The property TARGETDIR determines the root directory of the FreeCAD installation. For example, a different installation drive can be specified with </translate> 

TARGETDIR=R:\FreeCAD25

<translate> The default TARGETDIR is [WindowsVolume\Programm Files\]FreeCAD<version>.

Installation for All Users

Adding </translate> 

ALLUSERS=1

<translate> causes an installation for all users. By default, the non-interactive installation install the package just for the current user, and the interactive installation offers a dialog which defaults to "all users" if the user is sufficiently privileged.

Feature Selection

A number of properties allow selection of features to be installed, reinstalled, or removed. The set of features for the FreeCAD installer is

In addition, ALL specifies all features. All features depend on DefaultFeature, so installing any feature automatically installs the default feature as well. The following properties control features to be installed or removed

There are a few additional properties available; see the MSDN documentation for details.

With these options, adding </translate> 

ADDLOCAL=Extensions

<translate> installs the interpreter itself and registers the extensions, but does not install anything else.

Uninstallation

With </translate> 

msiexec /x FreeCAD<version>.msi

<translate> FreeCAD can be uninstalled. It is not necessary to have the MSI file available for uninstallation; alternatively, the package or product code can also be specified. You can find the product code by looking at the properties of the Uninstall shortcut that FreeCAD installs in the start menu.

Administrative installation

With </translate> 

msiexec /a FreeCAD<version>.msi

<translate> an "administrative" (network) installation can be initiated. The files get unpacked into the target directory (which should be a network directory), but no other modification is made to the local system. In addition, another (smaller) msi file is generated in the target directory, which clients can then use to perform a local installation (future versions may also offer to keep some features on the network drive altogether).

Currently, there is no user interface for administrative installations, so the target directory must be passed on the command line.

There is no specific uninstall procedure for an administrative install - just delete the target directory if no client uses it anymore.

With </translate> 

msiexec /jm FreeCAD<version>.msi

<translate> it would be possible, in principle, to "advertise" FreeCAD to a machine (with /ju to a user). This would cause the icons to appear in the start menu, and the extensions to become registered, without the software actually being installed. The first usage of a feature would cause that feature to be installed.

The FreeCAD installer currently supports just advertisement of start menu entries, but no advertisement of shortcuts.

Automatic Installation on a Group of Machines

With Windows Group Policy, it is possible to automatically install FreeCAD an a group of machines. To do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Log on to the domain controller
  2. Copy the MSI file into a folder that is shared with access granted to all target machines.
  3. Open the MMC snapin "Active Directory users and computers"
  4. Navigate to the group of computers that need FreeCAD
  5. Open Properties
  6. Open Group Policies
  7. Add a new policy, and edit it
  8. In Computer Configuration/Software Installation, choose New/Package
  9. Select the MSI file through the network path
  10. Optionally, select that you want the FreeCAD to be deinstalled if the computer leaves the scope of the policy.

Group policy propagation typically takes some time - to reliably deploy the package, all machines should be rebooted.

Installation on Linux using Crossover Office

You can install the windows version of FreeCAD on a Linux system using CXOffice 5.0.1. Run msiexec from the CXOffice command line, assuming that the install package is placed in the "software" directory which is mapped to the drive letter "Y:": 

msiexec /i Y:\\software\\FreeCAD<version>.msi

FreeCAD is running, but it has been reported that the OpenGL display does not work, like with other programs running under Wine i.e. Google SketchUp.

安装-Linux/Unix

<translate> 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 "official" 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!

Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based systems

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: </translate> 

sudo apt-get install freecad

<translate> But chances are this stable version will be outdated, and not have the latest features. To get the last release version, please use the PPA.

Stable PPA with GUI

To install FreeCAD using the PPA, from the graphical interface, please follow those instructions. The FreeCAD community provides a </translate>PPA repository on Launchpad<translate> with the latest stable FreeCAD version.

You need to add to your system's Software Sources the following PPA. To do that navigate to Ubuntu Software Centre > Edit > Software Sources > Other Software. Click on add and copy and past the code below: </translate> 

ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable

<translate>

Refresh your software sources, if asked. Now, you can find and install the last stable FreeCAD version on the Ubuntu Software Center.

For more information on PPA, click here: </translate>Definition of PPA (Personal Package Archive) on help.ubuntu.com<translate> .

Stable PPA with console

Type, or copy-paste, these commands in a console to add the PPA:

For the "stable" PPA </translate> 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable

<translate>

Don't forget to retrieve the updated the package lists: </translate> 

sudo apt-get update

<translate> Update synchronizes your list of available packages with the servers.

Then, install FreeCAD along with the documentation: </translate> 

sudo apt-get install freecad freecad-doc && sudo apt-get upgrade

<translate> Upgrade downloads and installs the newest packages version of the installed programs. It will be applied to all the softwares installed on your computer.

Execute this command to open the stable version of FreeCAD: </translate> 

freecad

<translate>

Daily PPA with console

If you want to install the last unstable version of FreeCAD, please use the PPA named "freecad-daily" PPA repository on Launchpad. This way you can access the bleeding edge of FreeCAD development. This PPA is automatically compiled daily from the official FreeCAD's master branch repository. It will usually contain numerous bug fixes and feature updates.

For the daily PPA: </translate> 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freecad-daily && sudo apt-get upgrade

<translate>

Execute this command to open the daily build of FreeCAD: </translate> 

freecad-daily

<translate>

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: </translate> 

sudo apt-get install freecad

<translate>

OpenSUSE

FreeCAD is typically installed with: </translate> 

zypper install FreeCAD

<translate>

Gentoo

FreeCAD can be built/installed simply by issuing: </translate> 

emerge freecad

<translate>

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.
Linux.png Ubuntu 32/64bit AppImage-logo.png AppImage 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 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: </translate> 

sudo dpkg -i Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb

<translate> 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.

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.

Installing Windows Version on Linux

See the Install on Windows page.

</translate>


安装-Mac

<translate> FreeCAD can be installed on Mac OS X in one step using the Installer.
