kodi-send on raypberry pi - Auerhahn - 2018-05-24
How can I install kodi-send on my Raspberry Pi? It is evident that it is not there. What can I do?
(Raspberry Pi 3 B+, Raspbian Stretch, Kodi 17.6)

Through a package manager would be preferable. On my system (ubuntu on a NUC, not a raspberry pi) kodi-send is available from my package manager and can be installed with:
bash:sudo apt-get install kodi-eventclients-kodi-send
I would guess it is the same on raspbian. If your package manager doesn't have it though, you can get it somewhat manually by grabbing these two files:
xbmcclient.py:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/tools/EventClients/lib/python/xbmcclient.py
and kodi-send.py:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/tools/EventClients/Clients/Kodi%20Send/kodi-send.py
If you put them both in /home/$USER/bin (creating the folder if it doesn't exist), rename kodi-send.py to 'kodi-send' and add execute permissions to kodi-send, and log out and in again, you should then be able to run kodi-send from the command line. You can remove them again just by deleting them from /home/$USER/bin.
