This guide shows you how to install Kodi on Roku.  Since the Roku device family does not actually support installing Kodi directly onto the Roku device, the closest we can get to actually installing Kodi on Roku is to use screen mirroring from a PC or Android to mirror Kodi to the Roku.  If you need a device onto which you can directly install Kodi, you’ll need an Android-based device such as a FireStick.  The fact is, Kodi simply cannot be installed directly onto Roku – you need to mirror a screen to the Roku or use a different streaming device onto which you can actually install the real-deal Kodi. Read below for details:
