Getting started
1. Install dependencies 📦️
Install KiCad 7 or later 👉️ https://www.kicad.org/download/
When using EDeA as a command line tool, please use pipx to manage the virtualenv easier.
2. Verify python can access KiCad 🐍
When using a virtual environment, make sure to inherit the system site packages
virtualenv --system-site-packages .venv
Importing pcbnew should work without any errors
python -c "import pcbnew"
3. Time to use EDeA 💫
pipx run --system-site-packages edea version
pipx install --system-site-packages edea
edea version
