-#!/bin/bash -e
-# Install KiCad from source onto either:
-#  -> a Ubuntu/Debian/Mint or
-#  -> a Red Hat
-# compatible linux system.
-#
-# The "install_prerequisites" step is the only "distro dependent" one.  That step could be modified
-# for other linux distros.
-#
-# There are 3 package groups in a KiCad install:
-# 1) Compiled source code in the form of executable programs.
-# 2) User manuals and other documentation typically as *.pdf files.
-# 3) a) Schematic parts, b) layout footprints, and c) 3D models for footprints.
-#
-# To achieve 1) source is checked out from its repo and compiled by this script then executables
-#  are installed using CMake.
-# To achieve 2) documentation is checked out from its repo and installed using CMake.
-# TO achieve 3a) and 3c) they are checked out from their repos and installed using CMake.
-# To achieve 3b) a global fp-lib-table is put into your home directory which points to
-#  http://github.com/KiCad.  No actual footprints are installed locally, internet access is used
-#  during program operation to fetch footprints from github as if it was a remote drive in the cloud.
-#  If you want to install those same KiCad footprints locally, you may run a separate script
-#  named library-repos-install.sh found in this same directory.  That script requires that "git" be on
-#  your system whereas this script does not.  The footprints require some means to download them and
-#  bzr-git seems not up to the task.  wget or curl would also work.
-
-
-# Since bash is invoked with -e by the first line of this script, all the steps in this script
-# must succeed otherwise bash will abort at the first non-zero error code.  Therefore any script
-# functions must be crafted to anticipate numerous conditions, such that no command fails unless it
-# is a serious situation.
-
-
-# Set where the 3 source trees will go, use a full path
