6. After a few moments, the chosen add-on will be installed. To locate it, return to your Kodi's 'Add-Ons' section, and then click on the addon's icon. That's it!

Use Kodi's Built-In Search! – If you already know the name of the add-on you're looking for, click on the magnifying glass icon on Kodi's home screen (top-left corner). Select 'Search Add-Ons' and input the name of the addon. This is a quicker way to install addons from Kodi's official repository.

Everything said above applies to accessing Kodi's official repository - but you have other options as well. By opening up the application, you can also access additional Kodi repositories, which allows you to use a wider variety of add-ons.
