How to Install the Kodi App on Firestick

Kodi on Fire stick

Installing Kodi on Firestick or a Fire TV is easy as pie — no technical knowledge is required. There are a number of ways to do it, three of which you can check out below.

Before you get started, you have to change three settings on your Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire Stick. Fire up your streaming device, go to Settings > Device > Developers option, and turn on the "ADB debugging" and "Apps from Unknown Sources" options. The last step is to go to Settings > Applications and turn off "Collect App Usage Data."

Step-by-step-instructions:

  1. Launch your Amazon Fire TV/Stick.
  2. Go to Settings > Device > Developers option and turn on the "ADB debugging" and "Apps from Unknown Sources" options.
  3. Go to Settings > Applications and turn off "Collect App Usage Data."

Once that's done, you can use any of the three methods below to install Kodi on your streaming device.
