# Installation
This library is made with Kicad `6.0.0-rc1` and over in mind.
## Through PCM (Recomended)
The library should be available in the official KiCad PCM repository, proceed if you wish to install manually or offline.
To Install open Kicad's `Plugin and Content Manager` (shortcut `Ctrl+M`) and `Install from File...` with the packaged library found in [releases](https://github.com/openinput-fw/openinput-kicad-library/releases).
Kicad uses library tables to keep track of installed libraries. As of `6.0.0-rc1` Content Manager DOES NOT automatically update these library tables.
To be able to use this library you will need to add it manually in `Manage Symbol Libraries...` and `Manage Footprint Libraries...` in `Preferences`.
The following entries are needed:
| Library | Nickname | Library Path |
|------------|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Symbols | openinput | `${KICAD6_3RD_PARTY}/symbols/com_github_openinput-fw_openinput-kicad-library/openinput.kicad_sym` |
| Footprints | openinput | `${KICAD6_3RD_PARTY}/footprints/com_github_openinput-fw_openinput-kicad-library/openinput.pretty` |
## Manual
Extract the same ackaged library found in [releases](https://github.com/openinput-fw/openinput-kicad-library/releases) to where you want the library stored, and add the relevant entries to the library tables in `Manage Symbol Libraries...` and `Manage Footprint Libraries...` in `Preferences`.
`note: the path to the 3d models is fixed, so depending on where you install the library they might not show up by default`
## License
This library is dual licensed under [MIT](LICENSE-MIT) and [CC-BY-4.0](LICENSE-CC-BY-4).
