+### Configure Pixi Toolchain (Optional)
+If you choose to use Pixi to get the dependencies then you need to configure a CLion toolchain and assign it to your CMake profile.
+1. Run `pixi shell` in the local FreeCAD directory to get all packages, this is also needed to update the environment after the `pixi.toml` has been changed.
+2. Go to Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Toolchains.
+3. Create a new "System" toolchain.
+4. Click on "Add environment" and select "From file".
+5. Enter the location of the `pixi-default.bat` for Windows or otherwise the `pixi-default.bash` script in the "Environment file" field. The file can be found in the FreeCAD repository in contrib/clion/pixi

+6. Go to Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → CMake.
+7. Select the "conda-[your os]-debug" or "conda-[your os]-release" preset and duplicate it.
+8. Enable the duplicated profile and assign the created toolchain to this profile.
+9. If on Windows, you also need to select the Visual Studio generator.

+Note: If CMake does not detect any packages from the .pixi folder then the toolchain script may have failed.
+This may be resolved by using the absolute path to your FreeCAD repository in the `pixi-default.bash` script.
