Sudo apt-get install geda geda-utils geda-xgsch2pcb On Debian/Ubuntu this can be installed as follows:

You want at least gschem, pcb and xgsch2pcb. It appears to be the most reliable and powerful open source choice, easily on par with Eagle. While it looks a bit antiquated and made for experts only at the first glance, the major lack of this suite is an up to date tutorial. GEDA is a software suite with schematic and PCB layout editor. Testing was done on Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit version. As RepRap is open source, we want also to use open source tools for designing RepRap stuff, of course.Īll applications described claim to run on all major OSs: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X. While a gazillion of softwares for creating and manufacturing circuits and PCBs exists, it was surprisingly difficult to find a working combination. (Should these be moved to Useful Software Packages ?)
