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.)
- See also: Raspberry Pi FAQ
Basic options
- Easy / Kodi centric distributions
- OSMC - Home Installing • Wiki • Support Forum
- XBian - Installing • FAQ • Starters guide • Forum
- Advanced / can be used with Kodi
- Raspbian - Up-to-date versions (Currently Krypton 17.3) of Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here.
- CarPC - Guide
- RetroPie - See full guide here
- Recalbox - Installing
- Batocera Linux - Learn More
- 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.
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.
RetroPie
Here's a youtube guide:

Notes for advanced users who wish to try and build Kodi from source code.
