The easiest way to try it out is using provided self-contained archives:

Alternatively one can use conda:

conda install -c cadquery -c conda-forge cq-editor=master

and then simply type cq-editor to run it. This installs the latest version built directly from the HEAD of this repository.

Alternatively clone this git repository and set up the following conda environment:

conda env create -f cqgui_env.yml -n cqgui
conda activate cqgui
python run.py

On some linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu 18.04) it might be necessary to install additonal packages:

On Fedora 29 the packages can be installed as follows:

dnf install -y mesa-libGLU mesa-libGL mesa-libGLU-devel
