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).
