Never knew about the pip2 pip3 though.
Tried it and FreeCAD addon manager installed the plugin. Now to test it.
Thank you.
Still should be a Fedora package though.

Trying to install through a very well configured firewall was not easy.
Certificate issues from the python distribution site. Finally
downloaded it and learned how to install from a local directory.
Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem I was trying to fix. Opening
