## Python Programming Language ## {#python}
The [Python][] programming language is used to provide scripting support to KiCad. It only needs
to be install if the [KiCad scripting](#kicad_scripting) build configuration option is enabled.

## wxPython Library ## {#wxpython}
The [wxPython][] library is used to provide a scripting console for Pcbnew. It only needs to be
installed if the [wxPython scripting](#wxpython_scripting) build configuration option is enabled.
When building KiCad with wxPython support, make sure the version of the wxWidgets library and
the version of wxPython installed on your system are the same. Mismatched versions have been
known to cause runtime issues.

The [Ngspice Library][libngsice] is used to provide Spice simulation support in the schematic
editor. Make sure the the version of ngspice library used was built with the--with-ngshared

## Setting the Build Version and Repository Name ## {#build_version_opt}
## KiCad Build Version ## {#build_version_opt}
The KiCad version string is defined by the three CMake variables KICAD_VERSION, KICAD_BRANCH_NAME,
and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA. Variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are defined as empty
strings and can be set at configuration. Unless the source branch is a stable release archive,
KICAD_VERSION is set to "no-vcs-found". If an optional variable is not define, it is not appended
to the full version string. If an optional variable is defined it is appended along with a leading
'-' to the full version string as follows:
The KiCad version string is defined by the output of `git describe --dirty` when git is available
or the version string defined in CMakeModules/KiCadVersion.cmake with the value of
KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA appended to the former. If the KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA variable is not define,
it is not appended to the version string. If the KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA variable is defined it
is appended along with a leading '-' to the full version string as follows:
KICAD_VERSION[-KICAD_BRANCH_NAME][-KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA]
(KICAD_VERSION[-KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA])
When the version string is set to "no-vcs-found", the build script automatically creates the
version string information from the [git][] repository information as follows:
