Hello,

I think I got it. Yea boy! I just used the .zip file since I was using Windows today. I did try to git clone the item and was successful, too.

  1. Make sure your left screen in KiCAD is occupied.
  2. Then go to “Tools.”
  3. Pick “Run Library Editor.”
  4. Then pick in your “Library Editor,” “Preferences” and then “Component Libraries.”
  5. On the top section of your “Component Libraries” tab, click on “Add.”
  6. Highlight your entire “Library” from your file menu (whatever library you choose).
    a. .lib files only.
  7. Click on your “Open” tab on “File Explorer” once the .lib files have been highlighted.
  8. DONE!
  9. Drink tea and relax…for a bit.
  10. Um?

P.S. This should help a bit or maybe not.
