This guide provides step-by-step instructions on installing the Exodus addon within Kodi 17 Krypton using the Smash repository. Please note: Third-party addons like Exodus are not officially supported by Kodi and may carry risks associated with copyright infringement. Use at your own risk and ensure you are adhering to all relevant copyright laws in your region.

Before You Begin:

Before proceeding, it's crucial to understand that using unofficial addons carries potential risks. These include:

• Malware: Some addons may contain malicious code that could harm your system.
• Legal Issues: Streaming copyrighted content without proper licensing can lead to legal repercussions.
• Performance Issues: Unofficial addons can sometimes cause Kodi instability or slowdowns.

Enabling Unknown Sources:

This is a necessary step to allow Kodi to install addons from sources outside the official Kodi repository.

1. Open Kodi: Launch the Kodi application on your device.
2. Settings: Navigate to the "Settings" menu (usually a gear icon).
3. System Settings: Select "System settings".
4. Add-ons: Choose the "Add-ons" option.
5. Unknown Sources: Toggle the "Unknown sources" setting to "ON."

5. Enter the URL: Enter the Smash repository URL exactly as it appears on a reliable source (this information is readily available online via a quick search. Do not use a shortened URL).
6. Name the Source: Give the source a name (e.g., "Smash Repo"). Click "OK".
7. Verify the URL: Double-check the URL you've entered for accuracy.

Installing Exodus from the Smash Repository:

1. Return to Home Screen: Go back to the Kodi home screen.
2. Add-ons: Select "Add-ons".
3. Install from zip file: Click "Install from zip file".
4. Select Source: Select the source you named earlier (e.g., "Smash Repo").
5. Navigate to Repository Zip: Navigate through the folders within the repository until you find the Smash repository zip file. Select and install it.
6. Install from Repository: Once the repository is installed, select "Install from repository".
7. Select Smash Repository: Choose the Smash repository from the list.
8. Video Add-ons: Navigate to "Video add-ons".

Important Considerations:

• Always verify the source: Before installing any addon, ensure you're using a trusted and reliable source.
• Keep Kodi updated: Regularly update your Kodi installation to benefit from security patches and performance improvements.
