PSA: How to install Kodi on 21.04 Raspberry Pi

On release of 21.04, there is no ARM64 build of kodi - which means you cannot install Kodi on a raspberry pi. What I have done is taken the sources available in the repository and rebuilt it specifically for ARM64. In a terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/kodi sudo apt install kodi Hopefully this will be resolved properly for 21.10 - until then - enjoy!
