Raspberry Pi | HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Raspberry Pi |
The basic hardware you will need is
- the R-Pi board itself
- a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, 1200 mA)
- a SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)
