Add Kodi PPA
Hi! The Tip shows you How to Add the Kodi Stable/Nightly PPA Apt Repository on Ubuntu Based GNU/Linux Desktops.
And Kodi for Ubuntu (formerly known as XBMC) is an Award-Winning Free and Open Source (GPL) Software Media Center for Executing Videos, Music, Pictures, Games, and more.
Most Noteworthy about Kodi Nightly Builds: Since only Bug Fixes are going in right now, nightly builds are As Stable (if not more so) As Beta Builds.

- Ubuntu
- Linux Mint

- Kubuntu
- Xubuntu
- Zorin OS

Adding Kodi PPA Apt Repository
For the Stable Flavor:sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
The Stable Channel is Not Working on Ubuntu 19.04 Based at this Time…
So you have to Use the Nightly Builds:sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then Look: Solution
For the New Ubuntu Releases if you get an Error then Amend it Manually like:sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-ubuntu-xbmc*.list
And Replace ‘disco’ with the preceding one, and so in this case ‘cosmic’…
Ctrl+x to Save & Exit from nano Editor ;) -
Refreshing Apt Repositories.
sudo apt-get update
If in Output you find the Issue of “not have a Release file” then you may try to Manually Amend the Repo like:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-ubuntu-ppa-*.list
And set it to the Previous Ubuntu release!
For Example on Cosmic change to “bionic”…
Finally, Refresh the Apt Repos Again.
