### Install Kodi Media Center

[Kodi](https://kodi.tv/) is media center software that turns just about any device into a smart TV. It can be used to view your local movie collection, as well as watch online streaming services, both free and paid.

Kodi can be installed on a lot of devices, from a your laptop to a Raspberry Pi or your DeGoogled Android phone, so installation varies depending on [which device you want to put Kodi on](https://kodi.tv/download/).

This tutorial will focus on getting it working on Debian / Ubuntu based distros.

1. Kodi install method 1: (installs an older version of, which is Kodi 19.1
in Linux Mint 21.2)

```
sudo apt install kodi
```

2. [Kodi install method 2:](https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux?https=1#Adding_Team_Kodi_PPA_repository) (Installs the latest version of Kodi)

    >Note: (PPA's only work on Ubuntu
      based distros, so this will not
      work in Debian)

```

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
 
sudo apt update
 
sudo apt install kodi

 Speaking of which, where can people buy NONsmart TVs...it is just commercial monitors that you have to plug into a computer now? Or are there TVs that are safe.... 

 I'm thinking computer monitors is what you'd have to do. 

 Yeah, that would work 

 There's also KDE Plasma Bigscreen
