[SOLVED] Install Kodi 18.9

Post by JeffF73 »

I recently just installed LMDE 4 and I am still learning. I am wanting to install Kodi 18.9. I noticed that Debian has their own Kodi version 17.6. Yet that's far to outdated for what I want and missing a lot of features. I have searched for days now on how to install Kodi 18.9 without success.
What I have tried is building from source yet that threw tons of errors.
I have tried the PPA from

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old
Yet get "Adding PPA's is not supported"
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Because Debian-based codebases don't support PPA. :)

PPA is for Ubuntu-based codebases.

Edit: pkgs.org has Kodi 18.9 as a .deb archive for Debian 10. Note that it was packaged by third-party, so caveat emptor.

Thank you for your reply,
I got it installed by building the source following this guide using X11 process

Downloaded my preferred version from here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/releases
Make sure you check every required package is installed. Also following the errors and it can be done.
