Configuration Error: No PCB footprint libraries are listed in the current footprint library table

[Cap_Barbosa]

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing good.
I am new to KiCad. I have completed my schematics and ERC was finished without any error. Now i am facing a problem, when i click the “Assign PCB footprints to schematic symbol”, it says “No PCB footprint libraries are listed in the current footprint library table”.
Can you please suggest a solution for this. Thank you.

If its your first run of Kicad, probably your fp-lib-table (footprint library data) is empty.

1. In Kicad project browser window, go to Preferences -> manage Footprint libraries.
2. In the Footprint Libraries window add your footprint library folders by selecting browse symbol at bottom. Default footprint libraries are in Kicad install directory with name ending in “.pretty”

Firts try to open Pcbnew (the layout editor) once, it’s possible that the default libraries haven’t been put in the configuration yet. IIRC KiCad asks what to do with them, just like it did with the symbol library table when eeschema was opened the first time.
