Where to place custom KiCAD plugins on Linux?

In order to create a custom simple KiCAD plugin, save it as NAME.py in the following folder (where NAME is any filename such asĀ MyTestPlugin):

~/.local/share/kicad/7.0/scripting/plugins

For example, you could place a plugin in

~/.local/share/kicad/7.0/scripting/plugins/MyPlugin.py

or in

~/.local/share/kicad/7.0/scripting/plugins/AddMyStuff.py

Note that you don’t need to restat pcbnew to load the plugins, you can just reload all plugins from the menu!
