Created page with "First log into your osmc installation via ssh: $ ssh osmc@your.device.ip.here password hint: osmc You'll have better luck installing retrosmc if you enable the swap file...."

New page

First log into your osmc installation via ssh:

$ ssh osmc@your.device.ip.here
password hint: osmc

You'll have better luck installing retrosmc if you enable the swap file.
$ sudo touch /enable_swap
$ sudo reboot

After rebooting, go to the Power menu in Kodi and choose "Quit". This will stop the media center and free up even more resources. Log back in via ssh, as above. Download the installer:
$ wget https://halckemy.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/attachments/214799/install-retrosmc.sh
After downloading, make it executable and run the script:
$ chmod +x install-retrosmc.sh
$ ./install-retrosmc.sh
Go through the install process. When done, diable the swap and reboot your device.
$ sudo rm /enable_swap
$ sudo reboot
