This repository contains a library of electronic components for use with Eagle. This library is developed primarily for my own projects and might prove limited for general use. But you can of course, always use it together with the standard Eagle library.
The following software must be installed on your system in order to clone and use this library.
Depending on your needs, you might want to purchase a suitable Eagle license as the free version in the above link offers only limited functionality.
Carry out the following steps to set up Eagle to use this library.
-
Open a terminal if you're on a Linux machine or Git Bash if you're using Windows. Enter the directory where you wish to clone this repository.
cd <path>
For example, if you wish to clone this library in your desktop folder, you would type one of the following commands.
cd /home/<username>/Desktop # Linux cd C:/Users/<username>/Desktop # Windows
Note that Git Bash uses forward slashes to separate directories in the path although Windows uses backslashes.
-
If you are not inside another Git repository, simply clone this library by running the following command.
git clone https://github.com/Kenneth-Goveas/Eagle-Libraries.git
If, on the other hand, you wish to clone this library inside another Git repository, it is best to add it as a submodule.
git submodule add https://github.com/Kenneth-Goveas/Eagle-Libraries.git
-
Open Eagle and click on Options > Directories. Fill in the path to your copy of this repository into the Libraries field and then click OK. For example, if you cloned this library in your desktop folder, the path would be one of the following.
/home/<username>/Desktop/Eagle-Libraries # Linux C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Eagle-Libraries # Windows
Note that this time, you must use backslashes if you're on a Windows system.
If the above three steps were carried out successfully, this library should be visible under the Libraries section in the Eagle control panel. Right-click on the library and click Use all to instruct Eagle to include it in your project.
