Kodi 17 Krypton, while no longer receiving official updates, still has a dedicated user base. For those users seeking additional add-ons, the Noobs and Nerds repository offers a range of options. However, installing third-party repositories like this involves navigating Kodi's settings and understanding potential risks. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for installing Noobs and Nerds on Kodi 17 Krypton. Remember: Always exercise caution when installing unofficial add-ons. Ensure your antivirus software is up-to-date.

Before You Begin:

• Back up your Kodi profile: Before making any significant changes to your Kodi installation, back up your profile. This safeguards your settings, add-ons, and other data in case something goes wrong.
• Understand the risks: Installing third-party repositories carries inherent risks. Some add-ons may contain malware or distribute copyrighted content. Proceed at your own risk.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:

1. Enable Unknown Sources: This crucial first step allows Kodi to install add-ons from sources outside the official Kodi repository.

   • Open Kodi.
   • Go to Settings (the gear icon).
   • Select System Settings.
   • Navigate to Add-ons.
   • Toggle the switch for Unknown sources to ON. A warning may appear; acknowledge it.

2. Add the Noobs and Nerds Repository Source:

   • Go back to the main Kodi menu.
   • Select Settings > File Manager.
   • Select Add source.
   • Where it says <None>, type the Noobs and Nerds repository URL (Please note: Due to the dynamic nature of these URLs, you will need to find the current, updated URL from a reputable Kodi forum or website. Do not use outdated URLs found in older guides.)
   • Enter a name for the source (e.g., "Noobs and Nerds").
   • Click OK.

3. Install the Repository:

   • Go back to the main Kodi menu.
   • Select Add-ons.
   • Click the package installer icon (it looks like an open box).
   • Select Install from zip file.
   • Select the source name you entered earlier (e.g., "Noobs and Nerds").
   • Navigate to the appropriate zip file for the Noobs and Nerds repository. (This file name and location will also depend on the specific repository URL.)
   • Select and install the zip file. Kodi will notify you when the installation is complete.

4. Install Add-ons from the Repository:

   • After the repository is installed, go back to the package installer icon.
   • Select Install from repository.
   • Select the Noobs and Nerds repository.
   • Browse the available add-ons and install any you wish. Remember to read the description of each add-on before installing it.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter errors during the installation process, double-check the following:

• Correct URL: Verify that you have used the most up-to-date URL for the Noobs and Nerds repository.
• File Name: Ensure you are selecting the correct zip file.
• Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is essential for downloading and installing the repository.

This guide provides general steps. The specific file names and paths may differ slightly depending on the current version of the Noobs and Nerds repository. Always exercise caution and responsibility when using unofficial add-ons. Remember to consult reputable Kodi forums for the most current and accurate instructions.
