In this section, we will go through all the platforms on which Kodi is available and show you how to install Kodi on your device easily. Along with that, we will also share some articles with detailed instructions in case you want to have a better idea about the installation process. Having said that, let’s start with Windows OS first.
There are two ways to install Kodi on Windows and here we are going to share both the methods. You can choose either of the methods based on what you find convenient.
Install Kodi From the Microsoft Store
The best way to install Kodi on Windows is through the Microsoft Store. You can install Kodi just by making a quick search on Microsoft Store and installing it then and there. No need to download an offline installer and manually installing it. The best part is that you can update Kodi through the Microsoft Store seamlessly without losing your favorite add-ons and repository. But do keep in mind, you must be using Windows 10 or 8.1 to have Microsoft Store. And in case you are unable to find Kodi on the Microsoft Store, follow the link provided below.

Install Kodi Using an Offline Installer
In case, your device is running Windows 7 or lower, you can download the offline installer from the Kodi’s official website. Just choose the architecture of your device and you can install it just like any other application.
How to Install Kodi on Android
To install Kodi on Android, the process is fairly simple and straightforward. Just open the Google Play Store and search for “Kodi”. After that, tap on the “Install” button and there you have it. You can also find Kodi on Play Store through the link provided below.
You can install Kodi on your Mac by downloading the DMG file from the Kodi’s official website. Just follow the link mentioned above and click on “Installer(64bit)” to download it.
Keep in mind, macOS blocks installation from unknown sources by default. So you must change the desired setting to allow the installation. To do so, open the Apple menu on the top-left corner and navigate to System Preferences-> Security & Privacy-> General. Here, change the “Allow applications downloaded from” option to “Anywhere” and you are good to go.
Kodi is not available on Apple’s App Store so the process to install Kodi on iOS is not straightforward. You will have to rely on a third-party app store to download and install Kodi. You can use AppValley, a third-party app store to get Kodi on your iOS device. Before you ask, no, you don’t need to jailbreak your device.
How to Install Kodi on Chromebook
You can install Kodi on Chromebook very similar to Android phones if your Chromebook has Play Store support. Just search for “Kodi” in the Play Store and install it. That’s it.
Installing Kodi on Linux is a breeze with just a few commands. Open the Terminal and enter the following commands one by one. Make sure to follow the on-screen prompts during the installation.

Similar to Windows PC, you can install Kodi on Xbox One with just a few clicks. On Xbox One, open Microsoft Store and search for “Kodi”. After that, click on the “Get” button and voila, Kodi is installed on your gaming console. Further, click on the “Launch” button to open Kodi.
