Installing on Linux/fr

Présentation
L'installation de FreeCAD sur les systèmes Linux les plus connus a maintenant été approuvée par la communauté, et FreeCAD devrait être directement disponible via le gestionnaire de paquets disponible sur votre distribution. L'équipe FreeCAD propose également:
 * Packages "officiels" lors de la sortie de nouvelles versions
 * Dépôts expérimentaux Personal Package Archive (PPA) et AppImages pour tester les fonctionnalités de pointe.

Ubuntu et systèmes dérivés
De nombreuses distributions Linux sont basées sur Ubuntu et en partagent les dépôts. Outre les variantes officielles (Kubuntu, Lubuntu et Xubuntu), il existe des variantes non-officielles telles que Linux Mint, Voyager ou autres. Les options d'installation ci-dessous devraient être compatibles avec ces systèmes.

Dépôt officiel Ubuntu
FreeCAD est disponible dans les dépôts officiels d'Ubuntu et peut être installé via le ou depuis le terminal:

le dépôt d'Ubuntu peut être obsolète. Le paquetage peut prendre du retard par rapport au dernier code source stable. Dans ce cas, il est suggéré d'installer le package à partir du PPA ci-dessous. De plus, l'installation du package peut être effectuée pour tester la branche de développement.

PPA stable
Les archives de packages personnels (PPA) pour la version stable de FreeCAD sont gérées par la communauté FreeCAD sur Launchpad. Le dépôt Launchpad est appelé freecad-stable.

Interface graphique
Pour installer le PPA stable depuis l'interface graphique (GUI):


 * 1. Accédez à.
 * 2. Cliquez sur, puis copiez et collez la ligne suivante


 * 3. Ajoutez la source, fermez la boîte de dialogue et rechargez vos sources de logiciels, si nécessaire.

Vous pouvez maintenant trouver et installer la dernière version stable de FreeCAD à partir du.

Commandes en ligne
Pour installer le PPA stable via l'interface de ligne de commande (CLI):


 * 1. Ajoutez le PPA à vos sources de logiciels:


 * 2. Récupérer les listes de paquets mis à jour:


 * 3. Ensuite, installez FreeCAD avec sa documentation hors ligne:

en raison de problèmes d'empaquetage, dans certaines versions d'Ubuntu, le paquet est entré en collision avec l'installation de FreeCAD ou de l'une de ses dépendances. Si c'est le cas, supprimez le package et installez uniquement le package. Si le package n'existe pas, ignorez-le.

Vérification de l'installation

 * 4. Une fois que vous avez ajouté le PPA stable à vos sources en utilisant l'une des méthodes ci-dessus, le package installera cette version de PPA sur celle fournie par le dépôt Ubuntu Universe. Vous pouvez voir les versions disponibles avec la commande  suivante:


 * La sortie devrait ressembler à ce qui suit (bien sûr, les informations de version varieront):


 * 5. Exécutez la version stable (PPA) de FreeCAD à partir de l'interface graphique (GUI) ou par la commande en ligne (CLI). Cette dernière méthode est la suivante:

La version PPA en cours de développement
As FreeCAD is in constant development, you may wish to install the package to keep with the latest improvements and bug fixes. The repository is also hosted on Launchpad and is called freecad-daily.

This version is compiled daily from the official master repository. Please beware that although it will contain new features and bug fixes, it may also have newer bugs, and be unstable.

Add the daily PPA to your software sources, update the package lists, and install the daily package:

Every day you can update to the latest daily:

in some cases new code or dependencies added to FreeCAD will cause packaging errors; if this happens, a daily package may not be generated until the maintainers manually fix the problems. If you wish to continue testing the latest code, you should get the source code and compile FreeCAD directly; for instructions see compiling.

Run the daily (PPA) version of FreeCAD:

it is possible to install both the and  packages in the same system. This is useful if you wish to work with a stable version, and still be able to test the latest features in development. Notice that the executable for the daily version is, but for the stable version it is just.

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 YAST (abbr. Yet another Setup Tool) the Linux operating system setup and configuration tool, or in any terminal/console (root rights required) with:



This procedure only covers the installation of officially released stable FreeCAD program versions, depending on the installed links to the program package repositories of your OS.

Stable
The stable package version: Stable repositories on openSUSE. The correct openSUSE distribution version must be selected in the lower part of the web page.

Note: openSUSE has several options to choose from when downloading FreeCAD. To view these options, visit Survey of stable repositories on openSUSE. Generally for selecting the correct openSUSE distribution needed it is necessary to click on the particular button.

Development
Latest development releases AKA : Unstable repositories listings on openSUSE

It is recommended to grab the binary packages directly. Then select the correct distribution for your installed openSUSE OS.

Gentoo
FreeCAD can be built/installed simply by issuing:

Fedora
FreeCAD has been included in the official Fedora packages since Fedora 20. It can be installed from the command line with:

On older Fedora releases, that was:

The gui packages managers can also be used. Search for "freecad". The official release package version tends to be well behind the FreeCAD releases. Package: freecad shows the versions included in the Fedora repositories over time and versions.

More current versions can be obtained by downloading one of the .AppImagereleases from the github repository. These work fine on Fedora.

If you want to keep up with the absolute latest daily builds, FreeCAD is also available on copr. To install the build from there, in a terminal session, enter:

That leaves the copr repository active, so

or equivalent, will update to the latest FreeCAD build, along with updates from any of the other active repos. If you want something a bit more stable, you can disable @freecad/nightly again after the initial install. The copr repository only keeps builds from the past 2 weeks. This is not a solution if you want to pick a specific older version.

Instructions are also available on compile FreeCAD yourself, including a script specifically for Fedora. With a minor change, to checkout the specific commit from git, any version since about FreeCAD 0.15 can be built on any distribution since Fedora 21.

Arch
Installing FreeCAD on Arch Linux and derivatives (ex. Manjaro):

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.

Installing on other Linux/Unix systems
Many common Linux distros now include a precompiled FreeCAD as part of the standard packages. This is often out of date, but is a place to start. Check the standard package managers for your system. One of the following (partial) list of commands could install the official version of FreeCAD for your distro from the terminal. These probably need administrator privileges.

The package name is case sensitive, so try `FreeCAD` as well as `freecad`. If that does not work for you, either because your package manager does not have a precompiled FreeCAD version available, or because the available version is too old for your needs, you can try downloading one of the .AppImage releases from the github repository. These tend to work on most 64 bit Linux distributions, without any special installation. Just make sure the downloaded file is marked as executable, then run it.

If that still is not good enough, and you can not locate another source of a precompiled package for your situation, you will need to compile FreeCAD yourself.
