Setting up Kodi

Making and booting a LibreELEC SD card follows much the same procedure as any other Pi operating system. You just need to ensure you use the correct image. LibreELEC 10 only supports the Pi 4 at present, but this will change in future (see box, previous page).

Download the image from the releases page at . For Pis Zero to 3, use the latest image from the previous 9.2 series which you’ll find by scrolling down. Or consider investing in one of the ‘other’ boards supported by the new edition, such as the Pine64. There’s also a generic image for running on a regular 64-bit PC, or a ready-togo virtual tool for macOS, Linux and Windows. But it didn’t work at all well for us so we’ll continue to recommend for this purpose. See the install page on the wiki () if you have any problems.
