How to install Kicad without network connection in Ubuntu 18.04?

There is Gerberoid, a Gerber viewer for Android, that is based on KiCad’s gerbview.

There is also this project - the website in the link seems to be down but the Github repo is still available.

A gerber of the schematic ? And I dont use gerber for my home-PCBs …

No, my point is that someone already did some work on making KiCad’s canvas rendering (although pre-GAL AFAIK) available on Android.

Porting GAL to OpenGL ES would probably also make it possible to get the PCB and schematic canvasses working in an app — problem is that editing won’t work sanely, but readonly this should indeed be useful.

You know… Every time I see GAL in reference to KiCad UX I have to stop and realize it stands for “Graphics Abstraction Layer” or something similar… Not “Gate Array Logic”…
