how to install #1

Closed leardilap closed 5 years ago

leardilap commented 5 years ago

Hi, I love your effort here, would you please add a simple how to install section to the README ? I've been trying to find out where should I put the lines that declare the colors but could not do it. Many thanks!!

On linux you need to edit ~/.config/kicad/eeschema. No idea where this file is located on win/mac

wrongPaul commented 5 years ago

on mac the file is located in ~/Library/Preferences/kicad

on windows the file is in C: > Users > ... > AppData > Roaming > kicad

beware that the files themselves aren't generated until you actually close the project manager and all programs completely! this was my problem and why I couldn't find the file, I had just made a fresh install and they simply didn't exist yet

should be fixed by #2 now
