Pop your microSD card into your Raspberry Pi, and hook it up to your TV with the HDMI cable (and plug in the ethernet cable, if applicable). Step Two: Fire Up Your Raspberry Pi and Configure Your System

When it’s finished, eject your microSD card and gather up your Pi hardware. Just close that window and continue on with the below steps. You may get a popup error about Windows not being able to read the drive, but don’t format it! This is normal, since the resulting SD card will use a Linux filesystem. It’ll take a minute or two to complete the process. When you’re done, click the “Flash!” button. Head to Etcher’s home page and download the version for your operating system-if you’re using Windows, we recommend the portable version, since you don’t have to install it. The first step takes place on your PC. In our testing, LibreELEC’s standalone installer didn’t work, so we’re going to create our SD card manually using Etcher, a free program for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Step One: Download and Flash Kodi to Your SD Card Installing them will be very similar to installing LibreELEC, so you should be able to follow most of the instructions below. If you don’t like it, there are other options, such as OpenELEC (the precursor to LibreELEC), OSMC (the successor to the now-defunct Raspbmc), and XBian. It’s incredibly lightweight, well-maintained with updates, and popular, so you’re sure to find help along the way if you need it. There are many different builds of Kodi for the Pi, but these days, we recommend LibreELEC. The underlying operating system may still be some variant of Debian Linux, but optimized to bring a powerful, lightweight version of Kodi to your TV screen with little effort. Instead of installing an operating system and then installing Kodi on top of that, you’ll generally install an all-in-one package that just delivers Kodi and the bare essentials.

Installing Kodi on a Raspberry Pi isn’t quite the same as installing it on a Windows or Linux machine. Again, you can read more about gathering these parts up in our complete guide to the Raspberry Pi. All told, these parts may run you more than the advertised $35 if you need to buy them all, but chances are you have some (if not all) of this stuff lying around, so you may be able to get by with very little.
