Getting Started
Kindred Create can be installed from prebuilt packages or built from source. This section covers both paths.
Quick start (prebuilt)
Download the latest release from the releases page.
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install ./kindred-create_*.deb
AppImage:
chmod +x KindredCreate-*.AppImage
./KindredCreate-*.AppImage
Quick start (from source)
git clone --recursive ssh://git@git.kindred-systems.com:2222/kindred/create.git
cd create
pixi run configure
pixi run build
pixi run freecad
See Installation for prebuilt package details and Building from Source for the full development setup.
First run
On first launch, Kindred Create:
- Loads ztools commands and the Silo workbench via the Create bootstrap module
- Opens the PartDesign workbench as the default (with context-driven toolbars)
- Prompts for Silo server configuration if not yet set up
- Checks for application updates in the background (after ~10 seconds)
If the Silo server is not available, Kindred Create operates normally with local file operations. The Silo features activate once a server is configured.
