+The schematic and 3D libraries supported by KiCad team.

+The footprint libraries are the `\*.pretty` repos themselves. If you want to
+download the libraries locally, the `library-repos-install.bat` and
+`library-repos-install.sh` scripts [in the KiCad source](http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/files/head:/scripts/)
+can do this automatically.
