Overview
OSE Linux is a free downloadable operating system that contains all the software that is used regularly at OSE. OSE uses only open source software to produce all of its work product to facilitate interoperability with a large global team of developers. OSE release new versions periodically, and the developers download the entire operating system and bundle of programs in a half hour or so. Using OSE Linux minimizes software malfunction, improper settings, and the time it takes to download or install various software extensions, workbenches in FreeCAD, browser plugins, etc. This addresses the tens of hours that it would potentially take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. It can be downloaded to a bootable USB stick, and instead of using one's regular operating system. One can choose - upon startup - to run the OSE Linux operating system from the USB without the user having to modify or upset their usual operating system in any way whatsoever.
First download the latest version of the operating system here and review the instructions for installing under the heading for your operating system: Linux, Mac, or Windows.
