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, 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.)


Basic options

Easy / Kodi centric distributions


Advanced / can be used with Kodi
  • Raspberry Pi OS - Up-to-date versions (Currently Krypton 18.7) of Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here.
  • Note that Arch ARM provides different Kodi packages optimized for different RPi models. Be sure to pull down the correct package for your specific model!
  • kodi-rbp4 (popcornmix's gbm branch)
  • kodi-rbp3 (popcornmix's newclock5 branch)
  • kodi-rbp (popcornmix's newclock5 branch)


Specific install guides

For installs that don't directly include and/or boot into Kodi automatically.

Raspberry Pi OS

Editor note: We need to expand on this section, but here are the basic commands if you are familiar with the command-line:

(Current Version - 18.7) 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi


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.
