+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Introduction
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A graphics-adapter with OpenGL or OpenGLES acceleration is required.
+
+Note to new Linux users:
+All lines that are prefixed with the '$' character are commands,
+that need to be typed into a terminal window / console. The '$' equals the prompt.
+Note: The '$' character itself should NOT be typed as part of the command.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2. Getting the source code
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You will have to grab the source code of course, here we use git as example.
+First install the git package using the command line
+
+  $ sudo dnf install git
+
+.0  $ cd $HOME
+.1  $ git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git kodi
+
+Note: You can clone any specific branch.
+
+.1  $ git clone -b <branch> git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git kodi
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3. Installing the required libraries and headers
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You will then need the required libraries. The following is the list of packages
+that are used to build Kodi packages on FEDORA (with all supported
+external libraries enabled).
