Hello Guys, I am not completely sure about Windowz or OSX but currently, for Linux, in the official KiCad website, we are suggesting this
sudo apt-get install kicad D oing so kicad libs do not get installed and furthermore the version of KiCad that you get will inevitably complain about libs not being installed . S ome people have complained about it. I would like to suggest to change the content of the following pages http://kicad-pcb.org/download/ubuntu/ http://kicad-pcb.org/download/debian/ http://kicad-pcb.org/download/linux-mint/ http://kicad-pcb.org/download/fedora/ http://kicad-pcb.org/download/gentoo/ and instruct people in the following way: sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-4 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kicad kicad-library kicad-demo kicad-doc-en plus add the note: If you are interested in the KiCad documentation in a different language please check your Linux distro repo and/or the official KiCad documentation page: http://kicad-pcb.org/help/documentation/ I know that libraries installed by default might be an option that some people might not like. The truth however, I think, is that the patience of people who try out kicad for the first time should not be tested. Do you guys agree? May I ask anybody with KiCad web right permission to make this modification? I also would like to suggest to include the libs in the Windows and OSX installer. On a side note. On Ubuntu and similar, in 4.0 verison, there is a "kicad-common" package that does not seem to be necessary and if installed actually removes the main kicad package. Not sure what is happening there. Best regards Fabrizio
