lite kodi build

This in-depth report on The Lite Kodi Build will give you the rundown on this build. You can use it on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV Box, or any other device.

Is The Lite safe?  Is it legal?  How can I get The Lite Kodi Build installed? We’ll tackle these questions and more in this article.

The reason we’re asking legal questions is that The Lite isn’t in Kodi’s official repository. That’s often a red flag.

Because this build can’t be installed through the official Kodi repository, it has to be installed from an external provider, which we’ll show you in the screenshot guide below.

The Lite is a reliable Kodi Build. It’s located in the cMaN Repository, along with other popular builds like Epix and the cMaN Build.

Some of the best things about The Lite build are its smooth navigation and interface. The categories, video addons, content, settings, and other aspects are also great.

For these reasons, we’ve included The Lite on our list of Best Kodi Builds. It’s quite popular.

Before you install any Kodi Build, we always suggest resetting Kodi to its default settings. This is super easy to do on any device that has Kodi installed.

Is The Lite Kodi Build Safe to Use?

Before installing it, I like to check things out first. I scanned their repository URL with VirusTotal.

Take a look at the screenshot of the scan results.

VirusTotal didn’t flag any suspicious files or malware in The Lite repository URL.

But, that doesn’t mean we can just throw caution to the wind. We should still be careful when we’re streaming content from this unverified third-party build.

The best way to stay safe when you’re using The Lite is with IPVanish VPN. It’s a smart move.

IPVanish creates an anonymous connection for you. This is helpful when you’re streaming or downloading with builds that might be a bit iffy, like this one.

Now,

Here are the steps we followed to install The Lite Kodi Build. We obtained it through their repository. It’s a straightforward process, really.

The Lite Kodi Build Installation Process

  • Start by launching Kodi on your device.
  • Then, you’ll want to click on the settings icon  Kodi Settings Icon. It’s usually a gear or cogwheel symbol.

Click on Settings

  • From there, navigate to the System settings. It might be labeled differently depending on your Kodi version.

Click System

  • Find the Add-ons menu item in the System settings. You’ll need to make sure “Unknown sources” is turned on. If it isn’t already enabled, go ahead and toggle it on. This allows you to install add-ons from outside the official Kodi repository.

Turn on Unknown Sources

  • Kodi will ask you to confirm. Click “Yes” to proceed. We know, enabling unknown sources can sound a bit scary, but it’s necessary for installing third-party builds like The Lite Build.

Click Yes

  • Use your remote to go back to the System page. We’re going to add the repository now.
  • On the System page, select the “File Manager” option. It’s where you manage your Kodi files and sources.
