how to deploy FreeCAD on multi computers

[adrianinsaval]

IMO that is not a feature that needs to be implemented in FreeCAD, it can all be scripted in bash or powershell depending on the platform, on windows you already have chocolatey and winget for this kind of stuff (at least the installation anyways) and on linux you have even better package managers.

Regarding the config files: consider using a Preference Pack to save any non-default local preferences, so that a simply "Apply" will reset those things to the settings you want to use.

Can preference packs work with arbitrary parameters? I thought it was limited to a subset of parameters

Yes: literally anything that is allowed in a FreeCAD conf file is allowed. It is just that the “save” feature can only save the subset in its template files. If you create it by hand, or just make a copy of your user.conf file, that works with any parameter.

thanks chennes for your good advices. We see Pack preferences can be used for such needs.
