Version 0.1.0
agentee on Linux
Install agentee on Linux for x86_64 or arm64 with one command, add the KiCad libraries it imports parts from, and check that the GPU solvers can see your graphics card.
Install
curl -fsSL https://agentee.sh/install.sh | shOr download the archive for your machine and put the binary on your PATH:
Check that it runs:
agentee --versionWhat it needs
- glibc 2.35 or newer: Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 and later.
- A Vulkan driver for the field solver, FDTD and thermal sims: Mesa for AMD and Intel, the proprietary driver for NVIDIA. The 2D field solver falls back to the CPU without one.
- X11 or Wayland for
agentee view. Everything else, rendering to PNG included, runs headless over SSH.
KiCad libraries
Imports read the KiCad symbol and footprint libraries from /usr/share/kicad. On Debian and Ubuntu they are packaged on their own, so KiCad itself is not needed:
sudo apt install kicad-symbols kicad-footprints kicad-packages3dThe script puts the binary in ~/.local/bin. Set AGENTEE_INSTALL_DIR to put it somewhere else.
Libraries anywhere else are found through KICAD9_SYMBOL_DIR and KICAD9_FOOTPRINT_DIR.
