The first thing you need to do is change the Kodi settings to enable you to download add-ons from external sources. This can be done by following these four simple steps:
- Open Kodi and click on the gear icon in the top left to enter the System menu.
- Go to System Settings > Add-ons
- Toggle the slider next to “Unknown sources” to enable them to be downloaded
- Accept the pop-up warning message that pops up.
Once you have enabled add-ons from unknown sources, you have to actually download and install them. This is an equally straightforward process. All you need to do is tell Kodi where the relevant repository for your addon is located, add this repository to Kodi, and then choose which addons you want to install from it.
- Open Kodi and click on the gear icon in the top left to enter the System menu.
- Go to File Manager > Add Source.
- Click on the URL bar in the centre of the screen and type in the URL of the relevant add-on repository.
- Add a name for the repository in the text box below. Then click OK.
- Return to the Kodi main menu and select Add-ons followed by the open box icon. This can be found at the top of the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
- Click on Install from Zip File, then select the media source you just added and the repository you need to install.
- Wait a moment. Once the repository has installed, a notification will appear in the top right of the screen.
- Go back to the Add-ons menu again and click the open box icon once more.
- This time click on Install from repository.
- Select the repository you just downloaded and then search through the list of add-ons for the one you want to download.
- Click on your chosen add-on and then select Install to download and install it. You will need to wait for the confirmation notification again
