Hello!
To get both the symbol and footprint in KiCad (version 6 and later), you can follow these steps:
Extract the contents of the ZIP file you downloaded from SnapMagic.
Import the symbol:
In KiCad, go to Preferences > Manage Symbol Libraries.
On the Global Libraries tab, click the Browse Libraries (folder icon).
Select the .kicad_sym file from the extracted folder and click Open.
Click OK to add the library.
Open the Symbol Editor, use the filter search to find your imported symbol, and double-click to open it.
Import the footprint:
In KiCad, go to Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries.
On the Global Libraries tab, click the Browse Libraries (folder icon).
Select the folder containing the .kicad_mod file (choose the folder, not the file), then click Select Folder.
Click OK to add the library.
Open the Footprint Editor, use the filter search to find your imported footprint, and double-click to open it.
