Kodi Install

Hi
I am inexperienced with Linux, attempting to setup an HTPC with an old Pentium system.
Tried Ubuntu but to slow, found Q4OS and installed and works better on my system.

Installed Kodi but does not show under applications and no icon on desktop.
Am I missing something?

Re: Kodi Install

Hi
After I posted I tried "Run Command" Kodi and it worked.
I then found Kodi icon in Applications/Programs/Accessories/Multimedia.
