How to install FreeCad 0.15 on Linux Mint-18.3

To install FreeCad 0.15 on Linux Mint-18.3

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open-source and highly customizable, scriptable and extensible.
FreeCAD is multiplatform (Windows, Mac and Linux), and reads and writes many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others.
It is really simple to install FreeCAD on Linux Mint 18.3, and this tutorial covers the ground on the same process.
