# Getting set up
|
|
|
|
## Running the notebook locally
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have python3 installed. Then run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
jupyter notebook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Getting KiCad set up
|
|
|
|
Add the plugin to KiCad by symbolically linking it to the `kicad_plugins` directory.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s ${PWD}/coil_plugin.py ~/Documents/KiCad/6.0/scripting/plugins/coil_plugin.py
|
|
```
|

## You can order the PCBs directly from PCBWay (or download the Gerbers) from these links

The project is still very experimental - so there are no guarantees that these will work or do anything useful...
