It runs on Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows. + +eSim has been successfully ported to low cost FOSSEE laptop (http://laptop.fossee.in) + +##Pre-requisites +1. Python 2.7 +2. PyQt4 +3.

[Read copyKicadLibrary function in install-linux.sh] +If you wish to use the Cvpcb tool[access the footprints available on kicad's github repo], open the fp-lib-table using gedit/text editors and replace the word "KISYSMOD" with "KIGITHUB", and replace the word "KiCad" with "Github" throughout the file. + +Two footprints are stored locally in /usr/share/kicad/modules/Connectors_Terminal_Blocks.pretty/ +and /usr/share/kicad/modules/TO_SOT_Packages_THT.pretty/ to keep eSim compliant with the Spoken Tutorials created. + |
