Compiling
|

---------
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling FreeCAD requires the installation of several libraries and their
|
||||
development files such as OCCT (Open Cascade), Coin and Qt, listed in the
|
||||
pages below. Once this is done, FreeCAD can be compiled with
|
||||
CMake. On Windows, these libraries are bundled and offered by the
|
||||
FreeCAD team in a convenient package. On Linux, they are usually found
|
||||
in your distribution's repositories, and on macOS and other platforms,
|
||||
you will usually have to compile them yourself.
