General and distribution specific guides on HOW-TO compile Kodi for Linux from source code is available in this whis, and there is also an up-to-date README for Ubuntu Linux available in the [https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc XBMC Foundation git repo on GitHub].

	The recommended '''Linux development platform''' is currently [[~~HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux from source code~~\|32-bit Ubuntu Desktop (for x86)]]. The code can be obtained by cloning the xbmc [http://git-scm.com/ git] repository hosted on [https://github.com/garbear/xbmc Github].

	git clone git://github.com/garbear/xbmc.git		git clone git://github.com/garbear/xbmc.git
	</code><br />		</code><br />
	<br />		<br />
	After the clone has completed, follow the compilation/development guide in the new repository ([[~~HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux from source code~~\|README.linux]]) to setup the required packages and so on. Team Kodi developers opinion is that the best thing to start with is just to take a look through the source code and try to understand how it all fits together. Test things out, find what works and what does not, then try and track down why.

	Alternatively, you can [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads download VirtualBox] and follow this guide to install the required software: [[~~HOW-TO compile XBMC for Linux from source code~~\|Ubuntu Desktop (32-bit for x86)]]. Besides from KDevelop, additional development tools that can be useful include Subcommander, Doxygen, Sysprof and PowerTop.

	The performance of a virtual machine is not great as there is no 2D or 3D hardware acceleration support under a virtual machine, however it should work good enough to get a lot of development tasks done. Nice is also that you can install/run [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] on Windows, OS X and Linux. The free VirtualBox also enables you to share data seamlessly between the virtual machine and host computer, and also allows you to directly access USB 2.0 devices from within the virtual machine. To improve the performance of your virtual machine, you can increase the number of cores on a multi-core system that is assigned to your virtual machine.

			From here, choose a controller, choose a button, and then press the key, button, or trigger that should map to the button. To control Kodi with a physical controller, it will need to be mapped to the "Default" controller. To control NES emulators, the keyboard or controller needs to be mapped to the "NES" controller in the configuration utility.

			Once you have mapped a keyboard or controller to an emulator's platform's controller, you can control that emulator.
