In this comprehensive guide, I will show you how to install the Alienware Kodi build. Alienware is compatible with Kodi 19 Matrix. This installation method will work on all Kodi-supported devices, including Amazon Fire TV Stick variants, NVIDIA SHIELD, Android TV Boxes, PC, Mac, tablets, and smartphones.
Installing a Kodi build is a great way to customize and tweak your Kodi app in terms of its appearance, addons, content library, settings, and more. Choosing the right build can make your streaming experience quicker, smoother, and better. Currently, there are loads of Kodi builds available across the web, and a noteworthy one is the Alienware Kodi build.

What is the Alienware Kodi Build?
The Alienware build is one of the few lightweight builds compatible with the Kodi 19 Matrix. The Alienware build belongs to the cMaN repository, which hosts other builds like Fallout and Element.
The Alienware build packs some of the most popular Kodi addons that will let you stream a vast amount of content for free. Further, it supports Real-Debrid and Trakt integration.
The build is only 124 MB, which means it is less likely to bog down low-memory devices like FireStick and Chromecast. It’s easy to install, and I’ll show you exactly how after touching on some important details.
Is the Alienware Kodi Build Safe and Legal?
Questions like these naturally arise because the Alienware build is not part of the official Kodi repository, meaning Kodi doesn’t endorse its use.
Unfortunately, FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality or security of third-party Kodi builds like Alienware. Most Kodi builds come with pre-installed addons, and those addons usually scrape popular websites for links to the websites’ content.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

How to Install the Alienware Kodi Build
Alienware is a third-party build, making the installation process a bit more complex. But don’t worry, I laid it out step by step below. I divided the installation into three parts to help you keep track as you follow along.

4. Select Unknown sources in the right section of the same window.
5. When you see the warning message, click Yes to proceed.
6. Make sure the toggle for Unknown sources is switched to the right, meaning it’s enabled.
Part 2: Adding cMaN’s Wizard Repository
We can now get started with the installation process. We have to install the repository containing the Alienware build in order to install the build.

2. Click the File manager option on the top left.
3. Click Add source. You may click it on the left or the right.
4. Click where it says <None>.
5. Type http://cmanbuilds.com/repo and double-check that you’ve entered it exactly as shown. Click OK.
Note: FireStickTricks.com does not host or distribute this repository. It is hosted on an external, unaffiliated site.

17. Give it a few seconds. When it’s finished, you’ll see the notification cMaN Wizard 19 Add-on installed and you’ll be taken to the screen shown below. Click Continue or just press your back button.
18. If you want to go straight to the addon’s main menu, you can click Cman Builds on the next window. Otherwise, I’m about to show you how to access the addon from your Kodi home screen.
