that's probably not the right way of installing them, those listed in the message are likely not available to freecad

Not sure what to do with that information. Not a python buff. Any ideas?

according to https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... stallation

the correct way is to open cmd in your FreeCAD installation bin directory and execute

Code: Select all

python.exe -m pip install *insert-package-name*
@yorik @chennes I think this addon doesn't have these dependencies declared
