Cannot find Kodi on Raspberry PI
#1
Firstly excuse my ignorance, I am an absolute newbie to Raspberry Pi, Kodi and Linux...

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running Rasbian (wheezy)

I installed Kodi (Or tried to...) in the terminal by running sudo apt-get install kodi

It ran through a download (and what looked like an install process) then finished.

I expected after the install (Probably stupidly) an icon on the desktop for Kodi, or an icon in Programs menu for Kodi but found none.

I don't know if it actually installed OK, or if it did how I can now run Kodi on my Raspberry Pi.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks
Ollie

Just tried that, and got the following:

bash: Kodi: command not found

I did type 'kodi' not 'Kodi' into the command line then hit enter, and got the error in my previous post.

Not installed then, or not properly at any rate.

Wheezy is too old - Jessie has been the only supported release for a long time.

But really you would be recommended to use a Kodi distribution like LibreELEC or OSMC
- they will just work whereas kodi on raspbian needs a fair amount of set up and won't be as optimised a build.

Agreed - I have just installed LibreELEC on my Pi and it appears to work a treat.

Cheers everyone!
