This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on how to install the Salts addon in Kodi. Please note: Using unofficial Kodi addons carries risks, including potential exposure to malware and copyright infringement. Proceed at your own risk. Always ensure you are using reputable sources and are aware of the legal implications of streaming copyrighted content.

Before You Begin

Before installing Salts, ensure you have:

• Kodi installed: Download and install the latest version of Kodi from the official website.
• A reliable internet connection: A stable connection is essential for a smooth installation.
• Understanding of Kodi's limitations: Kodi itself is legal, but the addons you install can lead to legal issues if you use them to access copyrighted material.

Step 1: Enabling Unknown Sources

Kodi, by default, only allows installations from official repositories. To install Salts, you must enable "Unknown Sources":

1. Open Kodi.
2. Navigate to Settings (the gear icon).
3. Select System Settings.
4. Go to Add-ons.
5. Toggle the Unknown sources option to ON.
6. Acknowledge the warning message.

Step 2: Installing a Necessary Repository

Salts is typically found within a third-party repository. For this guide, we'll assume you're using a repository called "[Insert Repository Name Here]". Replace "[Insert Repository Name Here]" with the actual name of the repository you intend to use. The instructions for adding this repository will vary slightly depending on the specific repository. Generally, you would follow these steps:

1. Return to the Kodi home screen.
2. Select Settings > File Manager.
3. Click Add source.
4. Click <None>.
5. Enter the exact repository URL. This is crucial; a single incorrect character will prevent the installation. (e.g., http://[Insert Repository URL Here])
6. Enter a name for the source (e.g., "[Insert Repository Name Here]").
7. Click OK.

Step 3: Installing the Salts Addon

Once the repository is added:

1. Return to the Kodi home screen.
2. Select Add-ons.
3. Click the Package Installer icon (box with an open arrow).
4. Select Install from zip file.
5. Navigate to the repository you added (e.g., "[Insert Repository Name Here]").
6. Locate and select the zip file containing the repository. This is usually named something similar to [Repository Name]-*.zip.
7. Wait for the notification indicating successful installation.
8. Select Install from repository.
9. Choose the repository you just added.
10. Navigate to Video add-ons (or a similar category).
11. Find and select Salts.
12. Click Install.
13. Wait for the notification that Salts is installed.

Step 4: Launching Salts

After installation, you can find Salts in the Video add-ons section of your Kodi home screen. Launch the addon and begin exploring its features. Remember to be mindful of copyright laws and only access legally available content.
