Kodi supports installing different kinds of addons from external sources (outside of Kodi’s official repository). For that purpose, the addon you plan to install should come as a ZIP file. That’s because installation files of individual add-ons come as one-file archives, with Kodi extracting their contents and placing the files where they need to be.
Therefore, the question is – how to install Kodi addons from ZIP files? Well, know that Kodi supports such action on its own, which means that you already have the required tools. We’re here to explain how that is done, so keep on reading this guide.
How to Install a Kodi Addon From a ZIP File
This is a straightforward process, where even inexperienced Kodi users can learn the ropes in no time. So, here’s our instruction on how to install Kodi addons from ZIP files.
