== Installation Notes ==
FreeCAD is not available in the built-in package manager for Ubuntu 24.04-like systems (of which Linux Mint 22.1 is one). We have four options: AppImage, Flatpak, Snap Store, and build from source. In the spirit of simplicity, building from source is unattractive. However, we are looking for the ability to customize FreeCAD Add-ons on the command line in the official manner. FreeCAD does support this in general, but unfortunately only with the Snap Store version for our use case. The recommended AppImage will not run at all, from either command line or GUI interface, and the Flatpak version does not support the command line interface. So, we will use the Snap Store version, which supports both GUI and command line, for this app alone. Linux Mint has it disabled by default because it is a proprietary, closed source service offered by Canonical (makers of Ubuntu) but this narrow use of it to install one open source software application is very unlikely to be problematic.
Cura LE is installed as an AppImage. The most familiar way of simply managing AppImages, AppImageLauncher, is not currently compatible with Ubuntu 24.04-like systems. However, a newer tool called Gear Lever is available, but a bug fix is required before we can use it. [https://github.com/mijorus/gearlever/pull/309 Fix submitted]; waiting on the maintainer as of 2025-08-19.
This shows one of the many advantages of working with open source software: we ourselves are empowered to help fix bugs and add features as needed for our use cases.
Also note: Arduino IDE and potentially Cura LE require users to be in the `dialout` group, so we modify default groups accordingly.
