Adding KiCAD Libraries Permanently:

```````````````````````````````````

  To use Opendous Inc.'s KiCAD footprints, you must copy opendous.DCM and

opendous.LIB to your \KiCad\share\library directory and copy opendous.MOD and

opendous.MDC to your \KiCad\share\modules directory.  For older version of

KiCAD, these directories are \KiCad\library and \KiCad\modules, respectively.

  You must then edit your \KiCad\share\template\kicad.pro file to inform

KiCAD that new library and module files are available.  In older versions of

KiCAD, this file is in \KiCad\template\kicad.pro.

  Open the file in a text editor that does not add formatting, such as

Windows' Notepad, and look for [pcbnew/libraries].  Add a line for

"opendous" to the end of the [pcbnew/libraries] list:

[pcbnew/libraries]

LibDir=

LibName1=supports

LibName2=connect

LibName3=discret

...

LibName9=opendous

  Now look for [eeschema/libraries] and add "opendous" to that list:

[eeschema/libraries]

LibName1=power

LibName2=device

LibName3=transistors

...

LibName29=opendous

  Now when you run KiCAD, Opendous Inc.'s footprints will be available.

opendous.dcm, opendous.lib, opendous.mod, and opendous.mdc are By Opendous Inc.
