1) Enable apps from unknown sources and turn on ADB
By default, the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick are set not to allow applications to be installed from outside the Amazon Store. To change this, go to Settings at the top right of the Home Screen, then select Device, Developer Options and toggle “Apps from Unknown Source” to On.
In the same menu, turn on ADB debugging, too. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is the option that lets you communicate with a Fire TV over a home network, letting you remotely install an app.

2) Find your Fire TV’s IP address
To communicate with your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick, you need its IP address. To get this, go to Settings, Device, About, Network. Note down the address listed under IP Address.
3) Download Kodi
Now, you can grab the latest Android installation file from the Kodi website. Click the Android icon to bring up the pop-up dialog box, then select the ARMV7A (32BIT) link; if you select the 64BIT link instead, you will not be able to install the software and you’ll get an error. A .pkg file will be downloaded to your computer: this is the Android installation file, which you’ll need in the next step.
4) Set up adbLink
The best way to install Kodi is to use the adbLink tool. This uses ADB to transmit the Kodi installation file that you downloaded, and then install it automatically on your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. This is why you had to enable ADB back in step one of this guide, so that you can use the tool that we’re about to show you.
Download adbLink from jocala.com, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, and then install it on your computer. When the installation routine has completed, run the software. Click the New button. In the new dialog box that appears, enter a Description (essentially, any name that identifies your Amazon device, such as Fire TV Stick), then enter the IP address that you noted down in the Address box. Ignore everything else and click Save.
