- if you download zip,unzip,and
- just copy the whole outermost directory FCGear into /freecad/Mod
- in Windows must show hidden files, otherwise Mod is hidden
- in Linux usually Mod path is usr/lib/freecad/Mod. You must open .Mod as administrator and you must give access permissions to all files of \"gear\". You can also copy to the local Mod: ~/.FreeCAD/Mod
