homebrew-freecad

FreeCAD is a Free (as in Libre) multiplatform Open Source Parametric 3D CAD software.
Homebrew is a MacOSX Package Manager.

Overview

The primary and frequent use case for this formula is for developers to conveniently install all the required FreeCAD dependencies to support FreeCAD development.

NOTE: If you are looking for the current macOS builds, please download the latest build from GitHub

Alternatively there are versions of FreeCAD & friends built using conda, there are a weekly releases published here

Prerequisites

Install homebrew

Installing FreeCAD dependencies (FreeCAD developers)

Developers may find it convenient to simply install the pre-requisites prior to cloning the FreeCAD repo for development builds.

brew tap freecad/freecad
brew install --only-dependencies freecad

Install flags

--with-no-macos-app brew will install freecad as binary to be launched from a CLI

Building The Current Release Version of FreeCAD

brew tap freecad/freecad
brew install freecad -v

Building HEAD Version of FreeCAD

brew install --HEAD freecad

Continuous Integration Support

The Travis CI system uses this freecad formula to build and test FreeCAD every time a change is made to the FreeCAD/FreeCAD repo meaning that the formula is very well tested itself.

TODOs

• presently the [email protected] tap formula installs pip3 and wheel3 which will not work if formula is set to keg_only
  • look at the formula cookbook / install section for finding a way to possibly make the tap version of python keg_only while not raising an audit error in the process.
  • the above issue is now adverted by using the upstream (homebrew-core) version of [email protected]
• publish bottles for older versions of macos ie. mojave & high sierra, there is an active discussion about the topic here
