After install of freerouting plugin it cannot be found in the usual place. The install location had a script that would copy to /home/ron/.kicad_plugins/kicad-freerouting-plugin so I created the dirctory kicad_plugins/ and ran it. It did create the sub /home/ron/.kicad_plugins/kicad-freerouting-plugin and put stuff there but no-joy.
Any solution?
Thanks
OS please.
Some operating systems are having trouble installing plugins.
Some plugins may not yet be updated to run on Kicad 8.0.0
And info about your Java JRE/JDK version.
Freerouting is written in Java and can be fussy about this.
