If the download speed is affected by using the official download address, you can cooperate with the domestic mirror address to get a high quality download experience.

7.1 for example, use the TUNA Mirror Station to download KiCad. Users in other regions can download slowly or cannot access TUNA. You can refer to the domestic KiCad image recorded below and save the modified yaml file as 5.1.6_TUNA.yaml:

7.2 use winget to verify that 5.1.6_TUNA.yaml has syntax errors or other problems:

Winget.exe validate 5.1.6_TUNA.yaml

7.3 install KiCad using winget and use our modified 5.1.6_TUNA.yaml:

Search the App Store for KiCad and click install

You will be prompted that the installation failed because some package and KiCad wrapper library files are missing

Perform the sudo apt install kicad through the terminal as follows:

Run KiCad and it will start normally.

Deepin/UOS can obtain the latest version of KiCad by setting the backports software source of Debian

Create a new buster-backports.list file in / etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

Sudo vim / etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list

Add the following, save and exit. You can use other Debian source settings that refer to TUNA

# / etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.listdeb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ buster-backports main contrib non-free

Update software source information

Sudo apt update
