The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED: The following packages will be downloaded: (fcenv) GrayBeast:~ car$ conda update freecadĬollecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): doneĮnvironment location: /Users/car/miniconda3/envs/fcenv (I may be wrong here.) So I created a blog post that helps non-programmer through the detailed steps needed to install FreeCAD on a macOS system with Conda and then how to use macOS Automator to add an APP bundle in the Application directory so you can use it without dropping into Terminal.Ĭode: Select all (base) GrayBeast:~ car$ conda activate fcenv Unfortunately, as far as I could tell, Conda does not have an option to build the macOS APP structure. The wiki does indicate that you should be able to use Conda to deploy the latest dev build, but I was not successful in getting that to work. The following FreeCAD wiki page explains how to install a Conda build: The current conda-forge version is at release 20909. I discovered I could use Mini Conda locally on my Mac to build/install a more recent release. The macOS releases on the GitHub FreeCAD pre-release page are currently built with Conda. This is a bit tricky and requires Github and Homebrew proficiency that I was not ready to tackle, so I kept looking. One alternative I investigated was updating the formula to point at a later release. So I spent some time looking for an alternative. Unfortunately, the currently available Homebrew formulas, both the default and HEAD, build release 14555 of FreeCAD 0.19, which is quite old. I found the APP bundle (FreeCAD.app) was located at (which was not obvious): Thanks to I was able to use Homebrew to build a FreeCAD version 0.19 release with a macOS APP bundle.
