This guide provides instructions on how to install the Catoal addon on Kodi 17 Krypton. Please note: Kodi 17 Krypton is an outdated version, and many addons, including Catoal, may no longer be compatible or receive updates. Using outdated software can pose security risks. Consider upgrading to a more current and supported version of Kodi for a better and safer experience.

However, if you wish to proceed with the installation on Kodi 17 Krypton for legacy reasons, follow these steps. Proceed at your own risk. I cannot guarantee the functionality or safety of this addon on this outdated version.

Installation Steps:

Before beginning, ensure you have enabled the installation of addons from unknown sources within Kodi's settings. This is usually found under System Settings > Add-ons > Unknown Sources.

1. Enable Unknown Sources: Navigate to Kodi's settings menu (usually a gear icon). Go to System Settings, then Add-ons, and toggle the "Unknown Sources" option to "On". You may be prompted with a warning; acknowledge it to proceed.

2. Add a Source: Go back to the Kodi main menu. Select "Settings" (gear icon), then "File Manager." Click "Add source." A box will appear asking for a source name and URL. For the source name, enter something easily recognizable, like "CatoalRepo". For the URL, you will need to find the official Catoal repository URL. This is crucial, as using an incorrect or outdated URL may lead to installing malicious software. Search online for the correct URL, making sure the source is reputable.

3. Install from Zip File: Once you have added the source, go back to the Kodi main menu. Select "Add-ons," then the icon that looks like an open box (usually in the upper left corner). Click "Install from zip file." Select the source you just added ("CatoalRepo"). Locate and select the Catoal zip file. Kodi will then begin the installation process.

4. Install from Repository: Once the zip file is installed, Kodi will likely automatically begin searching for available repositories from the newly added source. If it doesn’t automatically detect new repositories, go to "Install from repository," select the newly added repository, and find the Catoal addon within. Select it and click "Install."

5. Wait for Completion: The installation process may take some time depending on your internet connection speed. Once the installation is complete, you will see a notification.

6. Access Catoal Addon: Now you can find the Catoal addon in your Kodi video addons list.

Important Considerations:

• Outdated Software: Using Kodi 17 Krypton significantly increases the risk of encountering compatibility issues and security vulnerabilities. Upgrading to a supported version is strongly recommended.
• Source Reliability: Only use official and trustworthy sources to download addons. Unofficial or unreliable sources can contain malware or viruses.
• Legal Compliance: Always respect copyright laws and only access content you are legally permitted to view.

This guide is intended to help users understand the basic steps involved. The process may vary slightly depending on the specific version of Kodi 17 Krypton and the repository used. Always exercise caution and prioritize the security of your device.
