KODI - how to install kodi in kali linux / debian (PART-1)

What's Kodi?

Kodi is a free, open-source media player. Kodi started off on the Xbox, where it was known as Xbox Media Center (or XBMC), but that feels a long time ago: the software is now available on a huge range of platforms and in more than 65 languages, and incorporates the work of hundreds of programmers. And it's now known as Kodi, of course - the name change happened in 2014.

What does Kodi do?

It plays digital media. TV (live and recorded), films, other video, music, podcasts, photos, slideshows. That sort of thing.(you can watch free latest  movie , tv , game etc etc..yaa kodi is everything lol....

Sounds fairly standard.

Well, yes, but Kodi is designed to act as a media centre - the original idea was to install it on a PC that's connected to a big-screen TV - and has specific features for that role. Such as a '10-foot user interface', designed to be legible on a TV when sitting on a sofa, and compatibility with remote control hardware or software.
And speaking more generally, there are some advantages to Kodi that you don't get with other media players. It's compatible with a very wide range of file formats and OS platforms, and its open-source nature, high profile and large base of programmers mean there's a vast range of add-ons and reskins that you can download to customise the software to your heart's content.

Which operating systems is Kodi compatible with?

Kodi v17 'Krypton' is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Raspberry Pi and some others.
