LeoCAD is a CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models. It's available
for free under the GNU Public License v2 and works on the Windows, Linux
and macOS Operating Systems.


Installation
------------

You can download the latest version of LeoCAD and its Parts Library from
the main website at https://www.leocad.org

It's recommended that you install the latest drivers for your video card
since LeoCAD uses OpenGL to take advantage of hardware acceleration for
rendering.

  icon to launch the installer and follow the intructions.

  If you prefer to compile LeoCAD yourself, go to the GitHub releases page
  at https://github.com/leozide/leocad/releases/latest and download the 
  source archive from there. If you do not already have a Parts Library
