You can install it wherever you want.
This is a minimal howto here, for "kodi only" users.
Depending on your distribution, you will need new enough libs, those are:
Mesa >= 10.1.3 - but not 10.5-devel (that segfaults) including mesa-vdpau-drivers
Linux Kernel >= 3.16.x but < 3.17 (as this has new power states which _might_ not work for you). On Ubuntu I suggest the 3.16.x via ubuntu mainline.
That's it.
Unity, kde, both use compositing, make vertical sync worse.
