== Install Kodi on Apple Tv 4==
{{warning|Cydia Impactor is still a work-in-progress, There might be some bugs that you face while installing Kodi. It is not for the faint of heart.

This method also requires that Kodi be re-installed every '''7 days''' if you are using a free Apple developer account.}}

=== Prerequisites ===
* [http://cydiaimpactor.com/ Cydia Impactor]
* Windows 7 or Higher or Mac OSX
* Latest version of iTunes is needed to be installed.
* Latest .deb file of Kodi for TV OS from [http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/darwin/tvos/ Test builds]

=== Converting deb into ipa ===

Before beginning the installation, you have to convert .deb file of Kodi into .ipa. That is because Cydia Impactor only accepts .ipa files and not .deb files. If you already know how to convert .deb into .ipa, you skip to the installation below.

*You will need to [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html/ Download 7-zip] and install it in your PC
*Download required kodi build from the links given above in your PC

'''<big>Follow the steps given below and you will be able to convert .deb file into .ipa file.</big>

{{forum link2|1=Want to discuss or ask about what hardware is good for Kodi? Check out the [http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=112 Hardware for Kodi subforum]}}
<section begin="intro" />Kodi is officially supported on a number of operating systems and hardware devices that are designed to be connected directly to a TV. Kodi runs well on what are relatively "underpowered" systems, thanks to hardware video decoding being common on nearly all supported platforms. These requirements don't include what might be required for some "advanced" features, such as PVR, which might require additional hardware. <section end="intro" />

|-
! RAM
|
* '''Recommended:''' 1GB or more in a HTPC media player appliance-like computer dedicated for Kodi, and 2GB or more in a computer for multipurpose use.
|-
! Graphics
|
Kodi will run on most graphics cards made within the last 10-years or so, though for good hardware video decoding support a little newer graphics cards can be required. This includes most cards from AMD/ATI, Intel, or NVIDIA which support OpenGL 2.0 or later.

* '''Recommended:''' 16GB or more
: Depending on how big your video library is. Most of the space required for Kodi comes from the images/artwork cache, which can be adjusted: [[HOW-TO:Reduce disk space usage]].

=== Embedded systems (ARM/MIPS-based hardware) ===
Other than OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics support being a must it is very hard to generalize Kodi hardware requirements for Linux-based operating-system distributions on ARM or MIPS based embedded systems. This is partially due to most of the work in this area still being early/on-going in development. For most ARM and MIPS-based devices, hardware video decoding support will also be needed for most high-definition videos, (and possibly even some standard-definition videos). Some newer and faster high-end ARM/MIPS chipset can decode some high-definition video using software video decoding, but those encoded with the latest video codecs.

'''Here are a few popular embedded hardware devices that are known to work with Kodi and Linux:'''

* '''[[Raspberry Pi]]''' (and Raspberry Pi 2) - Hardware video decoding support for H.264, MPEG-2, and VC-1. GUI is responsive on most light skins. Official supported by many third-party JeOS (Just enough Operating System) Linux distributions made for Kodi such as [[OpenELEC]], [[GeeXboX]], [[Xbian]], and [[OSMC]]
* '''[[Cubox-i]]''' - Official supported by [[OpenELEC]], [[GeeXboX]], [[Xbian]], and [[OSMC]]
* '''Pandaboard''' - [[GeeXboX]] is a good OS/Kodi distro for this platform. Limited support, as it is generally not a development target by Team Kodi. {{editor note|need feedback on performance. A little snippet, like the one above for the R-Pi, will do}}
* '''[[APF6Dev]]''' - [[Buildroot]] is a good OS/Kodi distro for this platform. Based on i.MX6 chip, this platform has good Kodi support since 14.x and GUI is very responsive on most skins.
* '''Various "Android" boxes''' - can run reinstalled with a Linux firmware and boot directly into Kodi. Hardware video decoding for most video codecs, GUI is very responsive on most skins. Running Linux and Kodi on these "Android boxes" will likely result in better performance and enhanced playback capabilities than running Kodi under Android.

*{{future note|17|Kodi v17 will require Mac OS X 10.8 or later.}}
*All hardware requirements are the same as those for OS X 10.7. If your computer can run OS 10.7 or later then your hardware should work just fine with Kodi.<section end="Mac OS X" />

HOW-TO:Install Kodi for iOS

2016-08-19T23:37:53Z

Attiqfsd: I have posted a new method of installation and linked to the source.

{{mininav| [[iOS]] }}
The current stable release for iOS is {{current version}}.
;Requirements:
{{#lst:Supported hardware|iDevices}}
* If you have any issues, be sure to read the [[iOS FAQ]]!

{{Kodi migration note}} <br />

__TOC__
{{-}}

== Installing from Cydia ==
{{warning|1=Kodi v16 has not been posted to the Team Kodi Cydia repo yet due to server issues. However, you can manually install by by clicking here on your iOS device and opening the resulting file in iFile: '''[{{download link|iOS}} download deb]''', using the instructions from '''[[#Development and custom builds|here]]'''.}}

<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:repo_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Sources -> Edit -> Add<br />'''Step 3:''' Type in {{highlight|<nowiki>http://mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/ios/</nowiki>}}
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on the teamKodi source.
File:Install2_.PNG|'''Step 5:''' Tap on 'All Packages' and then on 'Kodi-iOS'.
File:Install3_.PNG|'''Step 6:''' Tap install, then confirm.
File:Install4_.PNG|'''Step 7:''' Let it install, then exit Cydia. You should now have a new Kodi icon on your screen.
</gallery>

And you're done! You should now be running {{current version}} for iOS. See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

=== Updating ===
Updates for stable releases of {{kodi}} are handled by Cydia and will show up in the 'Changes' section when available. (After updating the sources)

=== Uninstalling ===
==== Uninstalling just XBMC/Kodi ====
<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Tap 'Installed' from the bottom of the Cydia menu and then tap Packages

File:KODI-iOS_.PNG|'''Step 4:''' Tap on Modify in the top right and then choose Remove from the pop up menu. <br />'''Step 5:''' Let {{kodi}} uninstall and then press 'Return to Cydia'.
</gallery>

You're all done.

==== Removing settings ====
{{kodi}} will uninstall from your iDevice but will leave certain things ([[databases]] and everything in your [[userdata folder]]) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those:

;From the terminal, run:
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</pre>
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/</pre>

;Or

;From iFile:
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/

=== Converting deb into ipa ===

Before beginning the installation, you have to convert .deb file of Kodi into .ipa. That is because Cydia Impactor only accepts .ipa files and not .deb files. If you already know how to convert .deb into .ipa, you skip to the installation below.

*You will need to [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html/ Download 7-zip] and install it in your PC
*Download required kodi build from the links given above in your PC

'''<big>Follow the steps given below and you will be able to convert .deb file into .ipa file.</big>
'''
