I use KiKit at least version 1.6.0 (older version are not supported)
KiKit version
1.6.0
KiCAD version
8.0.4
Operating system
Windows 10
Description
When installing the kikit backend on Windows via the instruction, the kikit --version doesn't work immediately. It looks like I needed to relaunch the KiCAD CLI, and it then started working.
(I'll try to update the docs and put in a PR, but I wanted to capture it here before I forget.)
Steps to Reproduce
Install the backend per the instructions and keep the CLI open when trying to test it.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
cd "C:\Program Files\KiCad\8.0\bin"
"C:\Program Files\KiCad\8.0\bin\python.exe" -m pip install kikit
to install KiKit, since otherwise I would get a "kicad AssertionError: SRE module mismatch" error because some files would be picked up from my Python installation outside of KiCad.
I also had to run
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://webproxy.mycompany.com:8080
SET HTTPS_PROXY=http://webproxy.mycompany.com:8080
in the KiCad Command prompt prior to installing KiKit with pip, since I'm behind a proxy and pip will not use/detect it by default.
