Std AddonMgr/pt-br

Description
The Std AddonMgr command opens the Addon manager. With the Addon manager you can install and manage external workbenches and macros provided by the FreeCAD community. The available workbenches and macros are taken from two repositories, FreeCAD-addons and FreeCAD-macros, and from the Macros recipes page.



Usage

 * 1) Select the  option from the menu.
 * 2) If you are using the Addon manager for the first time, a dialog box will open warning you that the addons in the Addon manager are not officially part of FreeCAD. Press the  button to confirm and continue.
 * 3) The Addon manager dialog box opens. For more information see Options.
 * 4) The  button does not work at this time.
 * 5) Press the  button to close the dialog box.
 * 6) If you have installed or updated a workbench a new dialog box will open informing you that you have to restart FreeCAD for the changes to take effect.

Options
The Addon manager dialog box has two tabs on the left, one listing the available workbenches and the other listing the available macros. The information panel on the right will display the homepage of the selected addon.

Information for developers
If you have developed a workbench or macro, and want to see it included in the Addon manager, read how to do so on the repository pages: (FreeCAD-addons and FreeCAD-macros). If you add your macro to the Macros recipes page, there is nothing else to do, it will automatically be picked up by the Addon manager.

Python workbenches
For python workbenches, you don't need any specific approval to have your workbench added to the Addon manager and, being outside the FreeCAD source code, you can choose the license you want. If you request for your workbench to be added to the list (we will not add any new workbench without a request from its authors), either by asking so on the forum or by opening an issue on the FreeCAD-addons repository, your code will stay on your own git repository, we will just add it as a submodule to the FreeCAD-addons repository. Of course, before adding your workbench, we will take a look at it and make sure there is nothing potentially problematic with it.

C++ workbenches
If you develop a workbench in C++, it cannot be run directly by users and must be compiled first. You then have two options, either you provide precompiled versions of your workbench yourself, for the different operating systems, or you should request to have your code merged into the FreeCAD source code. For that, you should use the LGPL license (or a fully compatible license like MIT or BSD), and you must present your new tools to the community in the FreeCAD forum for review. Once your code has been tested and approved, you should fork the FreeCAD repository, if not done yet, create a new branch, push your code to it, and open a pull request so that your branch is merged into the main repository.
