Welcome to the gEDA_Footprints wiki!

Where to Place the Repository

The best location to place the repository is in the /usr/share/pcb/newlib. To do this log into root and move the newlib directory to newlib.bak, now run git clone "THE ADDRESS TO THIS REPO" newlib this will replace the newlib folder with the repository which will contain all of the footprints used by EDT, plus the standard footprints found in newlib. The reason that it is best to replace the newlib folder is to prevent any standard or custom footprints from being lost by means of accidental removal, or mis-installation.
