The basic hardware you will need is
- the R-Pi board itself
- a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, upto 2500 mA)
- a (micro)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.)

Raspbian
(Current Version - 17.3)
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kodi
- Alternative source
- Pplware has a build of 17.1 for Raspbian, see here for a guide and detailed instructions on how to set up Kodi for Raspbian
- PVR Addons
- PVR Addons can be installed directly from the command line:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAMEHERE
but replace PACKAGENAMEHERE with the PVR addon required.
example: sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts
The PVR client add-on should now be installed. If Kodi was already running, restart it to load the add-on.
