Another application that can help you install Kodi on Firestick is Downloader. Just like ES File Explorer, this app is completely free to download. Of course, if you don’t have this application installed, you must do it first.
Follow the procedure below to install Downloader:
Step 1: First you need to know whether or not you can control your Firestick by voice. If possible, press the microphone button on your remote control and say the name of the application. However, if voice control is not possible, you will have to manually find the app using universal search.
Step 2: Once you have found the Downloader, you now need to install it.
The next thing you need to do is to turn on ‘Allow apps from unknown sources’ in the settings as we explained above, in the settings on your Firestick. When you are done, we can move on.

Step 2: After that, you will be taken to the Kodi official website where you will need to select the Android version as well as the Android build.
Step 3: The last step involves downloading the Kodi app, after which the Downloader app will ask you if you want to install the downloaded .apk file. Confirm and wait for Kodi to be installed.
