Kodi Community Forum

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)

(1)a Yes
(1)b Should download the correct version automatically
(2) No
(3) Yes
(4) No, set it up yourself.

For the rest, the Wiki (wiki)
