Brand new box, don't know where to turn.
There is lots of conflicting advice and so many options that for the new user it is very daunting.
(1) a .Do I download Kodi 15.2 from the google play store?
(1) b. Do I download the x86 android version or the ARM version?
(2) Do I download a side launcher to then download and install Kodi?
(3) Does a download of Kodi include all basic files or do I have to download all extra files, whatever they are? If so how?
(4) Should I download and install a wizard or a program that setups Kodi almost automagically........

Are there any decent guidelines that are UP TO DATE??
Are there any decent explanation pdfs, docs that unravel the mystery of Kodi in a easy to read manner?
(that discuss concepts, structure etc to lay the groundwork to understand setup and usage)
