HOW-TO:Install Kodi for Linux

2014-07-27T02:17:18Z

Svenh: /* Official Team XBMC repositories */

{{mininav| [[Installing]] {{l2| [[Linux]] }} }}
{{see also|XBMC for Linux specific FAQ}}

These are instructions for people who already have a Linux-based OS set up. If you have not installed a Linux-based OS yet, you might wish to try out [[XBMCbuntu]] which will install both the OS and XBMC with an easy installer.

==Official Team XBMC repositories==

===Ubuntu===
;Simple Install Instructions

{{note|1=[http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Click here to find out how to use the terminal.]}}

*Before you run these comands type "sudo echo" into the terminal and hit Enter.
*Then copy the area below up to sudo add...
*Go back to the terminal, hit the middle mouse button and when it prompts hit Enter.
*Copy the part after sudo add... and paste it to the terminal.

<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

</source><br />

{{#lst:Team_XBMC_PPA|repos}}

Frodo is available from Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) to 13.04 (Raring Ringtail), you can install from the team-xbmc PPA as follows or replace the ppa with the desired from above.

<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
</source>

===XBMCbuntu===
{{main|XBMCbuntu}}
{{#lst:XBMCbuntu|intro}}

===Installing a Beta/Unstable Version===
To install a beta/unstable version of XBMC you must first add the unstable repository, then install XBMC:
<source lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
</source>
Follow the prompts to add the repository, then to add the updates, and finally install the new version of XBMC.
{{note|1=You may need to restart your computer for the newly installed version to be working.}}

===Going From a Beta/Unstable Version to a Stable Version===
Check what XBMC versions you have access to:
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-cache policy xbmc
xbmc:
Installed: 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty
Candidate: 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty
Version table:
*** 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
2:12.3+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
</source>
{{note|1=In the above example we have an unstable ('''team-xbmc/unstable''') and the release versions ('''team-xbmc/ppa''') available. The version with the '''***''' is the currently installed version (unstable)}}

To install the release version we need to install the team-xbmc/ppa version (in the above example: "2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty"). This requires us to install both the "'''xbmc'''" and the "'''xbmc-bin'''" package.
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install xbmc=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty xbmc-bin=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty
</source>
{{note|1=You will get a warning you are downgrading, hit Y when asked to continue}}

Remove the beta/unstable repository from XBMC to clean up:
<source lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
</source>

== Other repositories ==


Unofficial Linux binaries that are un/semi supported by Team XBMC. These use internal ffmpeg libraries rather than system ffmpeg or libav, which is recommended for XBMC.

=== Debian ===
http://people.debian.org/~rbalint/ppa/xbmc-ffmpeg/

=== OpenELEC ===

{{#lst:OpenELEC|intro}}

== Installation from source ==

If distribution packages are not available, or you need a newer version, or specific features enabled, then you will most likely need to compile from source. While compiling from source does not differ very much between distributions (except for installation of build dependencies), a few different guides are available in this wiki.

*[[HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux from source code]]
*[[HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux on Debian/Ubuntu]] - This is a tutorial on how to compile and install XBMC on Debian and Ubuntu.
