Copy the source files "65xx.lib" and "65xx.dcm" to the root of your KiCad project's folder. +2. In Eeschema (the schematic editor of KiCad) go to the "Preferences" -> "Manage Symbol Libraries..." menu option. +3. In the Symbol Libraries dialogue that appears, switch to the "Project Specific Libraries" tab. +4. Click "Append Library", beneath the table. +5. In the new line of the table, set Library Path to "$(KIPRJMOD)\65xx.lib" on Windows or "$(KIPRJMOD)/65xx.lib" on Linux/Mac, and ensure Plugin Type is "Legacy". +6. You can leave the Options and Description fields blank. You should set Nickname to something descriptive - for example, "65xx library". +7. All done: you are now ready to use these schematic components in your project! \ No newline at end of file
