Due to the multiple legal issues that Kodi has had in the past, the installation of third-party Addons provided by the Kodi community is disabled by default.
However, this does not mean that you cannot install them. If you go to the options panel, you will be able to activate the installation of add-ons from unknown sources.

Open Kodi and go to the home page.

Click System Settings, which is the box at the bottom right of the screen. This option can also be called System, just plain, depending on the version of Kodi.
In the menu on the left, click Add-ons. In the right panel click on Unknown sources. You will see a warning message when you activate this option. Don’t worry and accept.
The option is disabled by default for privacy and security reasons, but you must enable it before you can install add-ons from outside the official Kodi repository.
Upon this warning window, click Yes
To make sure that the unknown sources option is activated, go back into the panel, making sure that the option is activated.
And that’s all. Now you can install plugins provided by third parties.
