Many questions arise. Is Grind safe and legal? How is Grind Kodi Build installed?  This article answers these questions and others. 

We ask legal questions for a reason. Grind is not in Kodi’s official repository. This is often a red flag. 

This build can’t be installed through Kodi’s official repository. Because of this, it has to be installed from another provider.  We will show you how with a screenshot guide below. 

The developers of Fire TV Guru created Grind. Fire TV Guru was once a very popular Kodi build.

Grind, just like Fire TV Guru, is a perfect match for the Amazon Firestick. But it also works on a lot of other devices. This includes Android TV Boxes, NVIDIA SHIELDS, and others.

TROYPOINT considers Grind one of the Best Kodi Builds.

We always suggest resetting Kodi to its default settings before you install a Kodi Build.  You can do this easily. It works on any device that has Kodi on it.

Is Grind Kodi Build Safe to Use?

Before installation, I wanted to scan the repository URL.  I used VirusTotal for this. 

Here is a screenshot of what the scan found.

VirusTotal scanned the Grind repository URL.  It did not find any suspicious files or malware.

However, this is not a guarantee.  We should still protect ourselves while we stream.  This is especially true with content from this unverified third-party build. 

You can protect yourself when using Grind. The best way to do this is with IPVanish VPN.

IPVanish keeps you safe. It makes your connection anonymous while you are streaming content.  This is especially helpful when using builds like this one.

Grind Kodi Build Details & Description

After launching Kodi, give it a minute or two for all addons to install. The menus also need a moment to download. Once this process finishes, the build installation is complete!

Grind Kodi Build is an extensive build packed with numerous features and add-ons. It provides an awesome streaming experience.

Categories included in Grind are: Movies, TV Shows, In-Ones, Live-TV, Sports, The Jamz, Add-ons, System, & The GRIND.
