This is a guide on how I setup Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Arch Linux. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Install Arch Linux on the Raspberry Pi, see issue #682 

 * Make sure the system is up to date: 
 <pre> 
 pacman -Syu 
 </pre> 

 * Install wget: 
 <pre> 
 pacman -S wget 
 </pre> 

 * Install "yaourt":https://project.altservice.com/issues/509 yaourt to build packages from the AUR, see issue #509 

 * Edit the boot config file: 
 <pre> 
 sudo nano /boot/config.txt 
 </pre> 
 #* And increase the amount of GPU memory: 
 <pre> 
 gpu_mem=128 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install Kodi 

 * Install the kodi package for the raspberry pi: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -S kodi-rbp xorg-xrefresh xorg-xset 
 </pre> 

 * Install omxplayer-git from the AUR: 
 <pre> 
 yaourt omxplayer-git 
 </pre> 

 * Edit the raspberry pi udev rules file: 
 <pre> 
 sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/raspberrypi.rules 
 </pre> 
 #* And add the udev rule to enable typing with a physical keyboard.: 
 <pre> 
 SUBSYSTEM=="tty", KERNEL=="tty0", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666" 
 </pre>

 <pre> 
 sudo systemctl enable kodi 
 </pre>
