Start downloading the Fritzing package that's right for you. Unzip your Fritzing folder somewhere convenient on your hard drive. This may also be a good time for you to create a shortcut to the Fritzing application. A free unzipping program can be found here, should you need it.
On Windows, unzipping Fritzing might be much slower than the download itself. We recommend using 7zip.
To start Fritzing on Windows: Wait until unzipping is finished. Then open the destination folder and double-click fritzing.exe
To start Fritzing double-click Fritzing, or try ./Fritzing in your shell window
Fritzing uses the Qt5 libraries. On Ubuntu, they can be installed like this:
sudo apt install libqt5printsupport5 libqt5xml5 libqt5sql5 libqt5serialport5 libqt5sql5-sqlite
To start Fritzing on macOS double-click the Fritzing application
Recent versions of macOS do not allow "unverified" software to be launched directly. In order to run Fritzing, you will need to either:
- right-click the Fritzing icon and select "Open"
- in the warning dialog, click "Open" or, to get rid of the warning permanently:
- go to the System Preferences
- open the Security & Privacy page
- unlock it by clicking the lock in the lower left corner
- set it to allow app downloads from anywhere
