Help configuring Kodi as own system not via Ports

[djb3rn]

Hi all,
I have recently installed Retropie/Emulationstation onto my Intel NUC using Ubuntu and it all works great. I have installed Kodi and want to be able to launch it from the main menu as its own System rather than from the Ports menu.
I have seen the instructions available to do this, however this method does not work on my setup because I do not have the "pi" folders at all in my installation of it as the instructions seem to be aimed at an installation done on a Raspberry Pi machine :(

Has anyone managed to get this done? And if so, please shed your wisdom with me or point me in the right direction to do so. I have done a heap of searching, but no love as yet hence the reach out in this forum for help..

Any help greatly appreciated :)

@djb3rn Just replace the /home/pi portion of the instructions with your own homedir (/home/<your_ubuntu_username>) and it should work. Assuming your username is called djb, instead of /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi is /home/djb/RetroPie/roms/kodi, instead of /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi/kodi.sh is /home/djb/RetroPie/roms/kodi/kodi.sh, etc.

@mitu Thanks so much for that! I got it all working great! Now I just have to figure out how to get the system to work with my Logitech universal remote!
