5.2 Running lepton-schematic

lepton-schematic is a GUI tool, so there are different ways of running it. You can launch it from your window manager menu, by clicking onto an appropriate schematic or symbol icon (.sch or .sym), or from your terminal. To launch it from menu, look up for Development, Electronics, or Engineering submenus. The last way is most powerful and versatile. You can run the command without any arguments just to open a new, untitled schematic:

lepton-schematic

or you can specify the names of schematic and symbol files:

lepton-schematic schematic.sch /path/to/symbol.sym

lepton-schematic accepts several command line options. Please look the lepton-schematic(1) manual page for more information. Alternatively, run:

lepton-schematic --help

to get the brief description of all the options supported.
