Installation on Windows
Online Installer
The recommended way to install LibrePCB is to use the online installer. It provides the following features:
-
Installs a maintenance tool to easily download and install updates.
-
Creates start menu entries for LibrePCB and the maintenance tool.
-
Optionally registers
*.lppfiles, so LibrePCB projects can be opened with a double-click in the file manager.
Just download and run librepcb-installer-1.1.0-windows-x86.exe. Afterwards you’ll find LibrePCB in your start menu.
Portable Package
Alternatively you could run LibrePCB without installing it. But then you don’t
get an update mechanism, no start menu entries are created, and *.lpp files
will not be registered.
Download and extract librepcb-1.1.0-windows-x86.zip, then run the contained file
bin\librepcb.exe.
