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
