Obtaining OSMC
OSMC can be downloaded for all supported platforms on their official Download page here. On Raspberry Pi, OSMC can also be installed via the 'NOOBS' (New Out of Box Software) installer. OSMC recommends users download and install directly from the OSMC website where possible.

The OSMC web page features a GUI based utility to download and install OSMC on to a variety of platforms. This utility can be run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux based computers.

OSMC ships reasonably up to date images on their website, but it is recommended that you go to My OSMC -> Updater and install updates after installation.
