	Set permissions to make it executable. Use the ampersand to run ~~an application~~ in the background~~, such as a WM you only need to for~~ the ~~purpose of launching Kodi but not if you don't want to use the WM itself. Kodi~~ will not launch without a DE or WM, but placing the ampersand "&" at the end of the command makes it run in the background where it can do its job out of sight. Also, make sure to start a WM or DE before running an application in the foreground. This is not necessary for apps running in the ~~background~~.		Set permissions to make it executable. Use the ampersand to run each command in the background till the last line or your script will get stuck on the first line.
