Install FreeCAD-addons-master

[MMSN]

It's probably easier to just install the add-on manually. Which add-on in particular are you interested in.

Thanks very much sgrogan , as you have noted on the previous post, I have tried several times run the add-on without success. Some specific issue happens on Window Vista that isn't agible to load any add-on. For my case I need specifically the Assemble2.

Thanks very much

Go here https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_assembly2 click on the green "Clone or download" and download the .zip. Extract this in your downloads folder. Open the extracted folder. You should have a sub-folder called "FreeCAD_assembly2-master"
Next start FreeCAD and from the menu Macro > Macros.. copy the User macros location. Close the macro editor and close FreeCAD.
Open MyComputer and paste the copied file path into the address bar and hit enter.
Copy the "FreeCAD_assembly2-master" sub-folder to this directory.
Start FreeCAD you should have assembly2 available in the workbench selector.

I just recently installed FreeCAD on a Window 7 64bit machine and am getting the same error described in this post. When I run the suggested commands in the Python console window, the import ssl command generates the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.16\bin\lib\ssl.py", line 60, in <module>
import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate

It looks like OpenSSL might be missing. Should it have been installed by the FreeCAD .msi file?

I downloaded the installer (FreeCAD-0.16.6704.oc449d7-WIN-x64_Installer-1.exe) from http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=Download

I've already manually installed the specific add-on workbench I was interested in, but I'm still curious why the Add-ons Installer macro is failing.

I'm beginning to think it's proxy settings

Can you guys (who has problems with the addons_installer) try this from the python console?

Code: Select all

import urllib2
print urllib2.__version__

mine here returns 2.7
and

Code: Select all

print urllib2._have_ssl

it should return True
and

Code: Select all

print urllib2.ssl

mine gives <module 'ssl' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.pyc'>

Unfortunately we can't use http because nowadays github automatically redirects http to https...

I will try this tomorrow on my non-working system. The problem is I'm on an almost identical win system where the macro works. I think it has something to do with network proxies but I'm too ignorant to understand. Same FreeCAD, same windows works. For me the only difference is the network. Why upgrading the OS on the same network would matter I don't know.
