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!
