FreeCAD, another open source CAD program available for Linux, is a general purpose CAD/CAE program.

It is good for mechanical engineering product design, with tools similar to Solidworks, Catia or Solid Edge.

You can read more about FreeCAD on the [FreeCAD website](https://www.freecadweb.org/).

You can install the latest, most up to date version of FreeCAD on Linux using the [ZAP Appimage Package Manager](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9ma5ata2glhz28lys5ve3ur76hj73ry7ccjkxs8myc5cn0g4yyaqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdhl9hchwmsfyln3lt3ss7qx0s37lm0mzaa42q3ds5ty97hrgkj5psgqqqqqqsx0ynzy) with this command:

```

zap install --github --from FreeCAD/FreeCAD

```

Alternatively, you can also install FreeCAD using your Linux distro's built-in repositories using one of these terminal commands, (depending on your distro) but the distro version may not be up to date with the latest release.

```

apt-get install freecad

dnf install freecad

emerge freecad

slackpkg install freecad

yum install freecad

zypper install freecad

pacman -Sy freecad

```
