March 15, 20233 yr I'm trying to install KiCad on my OrangePi 5 running the latest stable Armbian 23.02 Jammy / Gnome. apt install KiCad installs a minimal KiCad 6 that will launch but it has no libraries, or other "extras" . Kicad wIthout the symbol and footprint libraries it is not very useful. apt install Kicad-Library returns E: Unable to locate package kicad-library I tried several other possible variations: E: Unable to locate package kicad-library-symbols dpkgl --list has --> ii kicad 6.0.2+dfsg-1 arm64 Electronic schematic and PCB design software Is there another ppa I can add to get the rest?
March 16, 20233 yr Author Solution I figured it out. apt install the following as well as kicad: kicad-demos kicad-footprints kicad-libraries kicad-symbols kicad-templates If you launched KiCad before installing the symbols and footprints like I did: rm /home/<your username>/.config/kicad fp-lib-table and sym-lib-table Then relaunch KiCad and accept the default global imports.
