Home icon grey.png   ▶ 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.)

Basic options

Easy / Kodi centric distributions


Advanced / can be used with Kodi
  • Raspbian - Up-to-date versions (only up to version 15.2, for 16, see here) of Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here
  • TriPi - Kodi, RetroPie, and a Rapbian desktop environment, in all one image with full Xbox360 controller support. (Xbox One controllers not supported yet) Guide
  • Recalbox - Installing (note: game controllers currently don't work in Kodi, so an additional remote or keyboard is needed)
