Description: KiPI

        ====

        

        A tool for downloading and installing kiCad packages, primarily for KiCad v5.

        

        Runs on Windows, should run on Linux (MacOs might also work).

        

        Description

        -----------

        

        Currently supports footprints, symbols and templates. Configurations for KiCad

        official v5 libraries and templates, SparkFun, DigiKey and Walter Lain libraries.

        

        Where available, point releases are downloaded as a zip file. Otherwise, latest

        versions of git repositories are cloned locally.

        

        This script uses git to:

        

        1. Clone a repository if you don't have it

        2. Pull the latest repository if you already have it locally (does an update).

        

        Content types:

        

        - Footprints can be installed to fp-lib-table.

        - Symbols can be installed to sym-lib-table.

        - Templates are copied to $USER/kicad/template

        - 3dmodels TODO

        - Scripts TODO

        

        Existing xx-lib-table will be saved to xx-lib-table-old.
