Kodi Upgrade
If you are installing a newer version of Kodi, you do not need to
uninstall the current version first. However you should create a Kodi
backup just to be safe, which is covered later in this section.
Kodi Installation
To install Kodi, enter the following commands into Terminal:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \
--recv-keys AB19BAC9
$ sudo echo “deb http://deb.odroid.in/c1/ trusty main” > \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/odroid.list
$ sudo echo “deb http://deb.odroid.in/ trusty main” >> \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/odroid.list
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install kodi
Kodi Backup
Backing up your data is always a good idea, and Kodi is no
exception. Kodi configurations and databases can become quite de-
tailed, but backup and restoration is quite simple. You can perform full
or partial backups/restores, as well as copy your complete Kodi setup
to another system - even to your PC or laptop.
In order to perform a Kodi backup or restore, you will first need
to install the Kodi “Backup AddOn”. More information may be found at
, along with details on performing Kodi backups
, and on the Kodi forum at

Office and Productivity Applications

flowcharting applications. It is a free alternative to Microsoft Office, and
can be installed on Ubuntu via the Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic
Package Manager. The loading screen of LibreOffice is shown below.
