Getting Started

This guide will help you get Zeo installed and running on your system.

Prerequisites

Before installing Zeo, make sure you have:

First Steps

After installation, launch Zeo and you'll be greeted with the welcome screen. From here you can:

1. Create a new project — Start a fresh schematic and PCB design
2. Open an existing KiCad project — Zeo is fully compatible with KiCad 9.0+ projects
3. Browse example projects — Learn from pre-built designs

Open the agent sidebar to start interacting with the AI assistant. You can ask it to:

• Place components and wire them together
• Generate symbols and footprints from datasheets
