# Fab Electronics Library for KiCad

This library (should) cover all the electronics components found in the official [fab inventory](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/inv.html). Using this library should also make it easier to share KiCad project files between Mac, Windows and Linux systems. 

## Installation

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Store it in a safe place such as `~/kicad/libraries` or `C:/kicad/libraries`.
3. Run KiCad or open a KiCad `.pro` file.
4. Go to "Preferences / Manage Symbol Libraries" and add `fab.lib` as symbol library.
5. Go to "Preferences / Manage Footprint Libraries" and add `fab.pretty` as footprint library.
