Go to the LOCAL APPS tab of Apps2Fire
Go to Local Apps in Apps2Fire
Find Kodi in the list of “Local Apps” (which means apps that are installed on THAT device), select Kodi from the list of local apps, then press INSTALL.
Kodi will transfer, or install, or “sideload” to your Firestick.
Then just find Kodi in your Firestick’s Apps list and launch Kodi on your FireStick!
Finally, install TV Addons, secure your streaming connection, and play Mario Kart 64 on your Fire TV.
