Setup Kicad BOM Plugin Manager

This instruction are for setting up KiCad BOM Plugin Manager to use KiCad_BOM_Wizard.

READ ME - Important notes!

before you continue, please note the following:

  • If you haven't installed KiCad_BOM_Wizard globally via the npm method, then you will need to replace any references to kicad_bom_wizard with node node SCRIPT_ROOT_DIR/KiCad_BOM_Wizard.js.

  • In some system, you may have to replace node with nodejs.

  • MAC OSX users only!

    there have been reports that `node` will not run in KiCad BOM generator unless you use the full path.
If you have this issues, try replacing `node` with `PATH_TO_NODE/node` where PATH_TO_NODE is your system absolute path to node.

- It might this: `/usr/local/bin/node`

    Here's where it was first reported: kiCad.info
