## Installation
### Arch Linux
Arch Linux users can find a PKGBUILD in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-standalone-service) that will take care of everything. Simply install and use.
Arch Linux users (likely users of Arch clones) can find a PKGBUILD in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-standalone-service) that will take care of everything. Simply install and use.
### Ubuntu
For the kodi user to access devices on `/dev/ttyxxxx`, users will need to edit `init/sysusers.conf` and uncomment the line corresponding to enable membership in the dialout group.
### Other distros/manual installation
Users of other distros can just run `make install` as the root user. Then, as the root user, run:
### Other distros (manual installation)
Users of other distros can just run `make install` as the root user. Then, as the root user:
* Run `systemd-sysusers`
* Run `systemd-tmpfiles --create`
* `systemd-sysusers`
* `systemd-tmpfiles --create`
Note that the kodi user's home directory is `/var/lib/kodi/` in this example, NOT `/home/kodi/` like a regular user.
#### Notes for users of non-Arch Linux distros
1. Arch Linux ships three discrete Kodi packages, each providing a different Kodi executable (`kodi-x11`, `kodi-wayland`, and `kodi-gbm`) but other distros may not do this and may ship a combined Kodi binary (called `kodi.bin`). If your distro ships `kodi.bin` rather than the discrete executables you must adjust the name of the Kodi executable in the `ExecStop=` line accordingly. Failure to do so will result in Kodi getting killed before it can perform exit tasks and can result in data loss to your profile.
Do this modification using a [systemd drop-in](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd#Drop-in_files).
Example:
```
# systemctl edit kodi-x11
<< you are creating a drop-in >>
[Service]
ExecStop=
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall --user kodi --exact --wait kodi.bin
```
2. Users of Ubuntu ≥20.0 will need to copy the contents of [sysusers.conf](https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service/blob/master/x86/init/sysusers.conf) to `/etc/sysusers.d/kodi.conf` and uncomment the line adding kodi user to the `render` group.
3. Users of Ubuntu wishing the kodi user to access devices on `/dev/ttyxxxx`, will need to copy the contents of [sysusers.conf](https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service/blob/master/x86/init/sysusers.conf) to `/etc/sysusers.d/kodi.conf` and uncomment the line adding the kodi user to the `dialout` group.
## Usage
