Failed to install SnapEDA KiCad plugins
Hi,
I followed the tutorials to install the plugins, but when I try to open it via KiCad (Tools -> External Plugins -> SnapEda plugins API) KiCad sends to me this error :
IOError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory : 'U:\\AppData\\Roaming\\kicad_fp-lib-table'
Is there anything I can do to solve this ?

Hello there,
Thank you for patiently waiting. It seems that the 'fp-lib-table' file is missing from that directory. I'm going to send you an email with the 'fp-lib-table' file and try to paste it in that director. After that, let me know if you're able to open our plugin now.
Thanks,
Faust

Hi,
I am using Kicad5.1.5 in Linux mint. I followed the instructions as below. I extracted the downloaded file and copied the folder to .kicad_plugins
The snapeda plugin is not showing in Pcbnew. I have but installed other plugins like InteractiveHTMLBOM, RF-tools-kicad and they are showing in Pcbnew. So what might be the issue?

Hello uzumakiboruto,
Thanks for reaching out. May i know if the files inside the '.kicad_plugins' folder contains 'imagemagick' and 'snapeda_plugin.py'?

Hi,
This is the folder structure. SnapEDA-KiCad-Plugin -> __MACOSX & SnapEDA-KiCad-Plugin -> (Inside SnapEDA-KiCad-Plugin) imagemagick & snapeda_plugin.py
Thanks

I have this same issue using Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon and Kicad 5.1.7. My .kicad_plugins has imagemagick folder, snapeda_plugin.py, and .DS_Store file. After PCBNew Tools-->External Plugins-->Refresh Plugins, the .kicad_plugins folder now has a folder named __pycache__ with one file in it named snapeda_plugin.cpython-36.pyc, Faust Arenas three months ago trying to reproduce on Linux Mint? Any progress yet? Thank you for your help.

Faust,
Installing python3-tk fixed it for me. Thank you very much for that pointer.
