Installing Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick can be a bit challenging if you’re not familiar with the process. However, there are several steps you can take to make it easier.

- On your Firestick’s home screen, go to “Settings.”
- Select “My Fire TV” or “Devices,” and then select “Developer options.”
- Turn on “Apps from Unknown Sources.” You’ll see a warning message, but it’s a standard message to protect users from installing malicious software. Click “Turn On” to confirm your selection.
