No library found on start up

[Joan_Sparky]

I’m not on Linux, but there is 2 ways to solve this:

• search for the fp-lib-table file, which contains the settings/paths for KiCAD where to search for the online footprint repositories and repair it/upgrade it to the correct paths, which you can find out here:
  KiCad EDA · GitHub .. there go for the kicad-library repo
  original path from trusted source: ( _https://kicad.org/download/source/_ )

• or you can run the libraries/repos locally and tell KiCAD via the >Preferences>Configure Paths settings where those are (and won’t have to bother with the public libs again) after you downloaded them manually from github (if you don’t have them) or you make your own

PS: I have no idea atm how the online thing works with the symbol libraries for EEschema (ie, where it keeps the online URL). For local libs one currently needs to tinker with the kicad.pro file in the template folder, to get running - read some troubleshooting about it here:

[solved] Newbie - offline files

After an exhaustive search I have decided to use Kicad for my electronic projects. I have gone through several tutorials. I primarily work with Microchip controllers. I need to set up files so that I can use Kicad offline. I downloaded all the libs, footprints, etc (~1gb). -----UPDATED ----- set Kicad directories to KICAD_PTEMPLATES C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\kicad\template KIGITHUB https://github.com/KiCad KISYS3DMOD C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\kicad\package…
