How to download Kodi on FireStick

Kodi can’t be found on the Amazon app store. You’ll have to download a separate app to get started. It might seem like a roundabout way to get Kodi on FireStick, but the process is speedier than it sounds. This is the definitive guide on Amazon FireStick Kodi installation:

1. To install Kodi on FireStick, open up your Amazon app store and search for Downloader. Download the app.
2. Once the Downloader app has been installed, head over to your Settings. It’s the cog symbol at the far right of the navigation bar.
3. Scroll down and select My Fire TV.
4. From the new menu, select Developer options.
5. Make sure ABG debugging is On.
6. Go down to the next option and select Install unknown apps.
7. You’ll be presented with a list of apps. Select the Downloader app and make sure it is set to ON.
8. Go back to the main Settings options. Select Preferences.
9. From here, go to Privacy Settings. Make sure Device Usage Data and Collect App Usage Data are set to OFF.
10. Now we’re getting to the last steps for how to get Kodi on FireStick. Open up the Downloader app. Select the URL bar and enter this: https://www.firesticktricks.com/k19. Press Go. This should start the download for the Kodi app for FireStick.
11. Wait until the download has finished and select Install.
12. Once you've finished installing Kodi via your Amazon FireStick, you’ll be asked whether you want to Open it or if you’re Done. Pick either option.
13. Don’t forget that you won’t be able to access the Kodi app from the FireStick home screen. Here’s how to find it: Go to Settings > select Applications > select Manage Installed Applications > Launch Kodi from the list of apps.
14. If you don’t want to go through that process, merely hold the Home button until the pop-up screen appears, then just click in Apps and select Kodi from the list.

Why your FireStick needs a VPN

Kodi hosts a lot of region-locked content. If you’re abroad and want to watch something from your home country, an online VPN service used in conjunction with a FireStick will let you access it. NordVPN is the best VPN for Kodi as it provides both the content you want the the security you need.

Why risk opening yourself up to a potential attack when you can easily hide behind the protective shield of a VPN? NordVPN for FireStick has next-generation encryption that will prevent anyone from snooping on your online activity or collecting your data. It’s a no-brainer for those who take their privacy seriously.

Keep in mind that first-generation FireSticks won’t be compatible with a VPN.
