+1. install FreeCAD, version 0.12 or greater for your platform.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/.
 
-2. install::

-3. test your installation::

-		exporters.toString(box,'STL')
+2. adjust your path if necessary.  FreeCAD bundles a python interpreter, but you'll probably want to use your own, 
+   preferably one that has virtualenv available.  To use FreeCAD from any python interpreter, just append the FreeCAD
+   lib directory to your path. On  (*Nix)::

 Why CadQuery instead of OpenSCAD?
