This library is made with Kicad 6.0.0-rc1 and over in mind.
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.
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 |
Extract the same ackaged library found in 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
