Install Diamond Dust Kodi Build

If you want to install a build from a third-party source, the Unknown Sources in the Kodi security settings must be turned on. So, before getting started with the installation steps, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Kodi Settings from the home screen. You can do that by clicking the cog/gear icon on the top-left.

2. Now, navigate to and open System (or System settings if you are using Kodi 17 Krypton).

3. Next, click Add-ons on the left of the following window. On the right of the same window, you will see Unknown Sources. If it is switched off, go ahead and turn it on by moving its toggle to the right.

4. Upon turning this option on, Kodi will warn you of the potential threats to your device. Diamond Dust Kodi build is safe. I have used it personally. So, click Yes.

When this is taken care of, you can get started with the installation procedure. There are lots of steps involved in this process. You just need to follow them in the same order as they have been laid out in this guide. You will have Diamond Dust Kodi Build in just a few minutes. To make things even easier, I am breaking down the process in the following parts:

• Part 1: Add the repository source to Kodi
• Part 2: Install Diamond Repo and Diamond Build Wizard
• Part 3: Install Diamond Dust Kodi Build

We will now go through each part separately.

Part 1: Add the Repository Source to Kodi

To install any repository or add-on on Kodi, you must either download the zip file on your hard drive or add the source URL to Kodi that points at the zip file. The latter is usually quicker. So, here is how you can add the source URL:

1. Open the Kodi Settings from the Kodi home-screen.

2. On the next window, select and open the option File manager (in Kodi 17, you will find this option on the bottom right).

3. Now, click and open the Add source item on the following window (as you see, this option is on the left as well as right. You may click any you like).

Note: If you have already added too many sources, you may not see Add source on the screen. You will need to scroll down to the bottom of the list first.

4. When you see the following screen, click <None>.

5. This is the window where you will enter the following URL: http://diamondbuild.xyz/ 

Update: Diamond Dust Build is no longer available. Please try another Kodi build from our collection of Top-rated Builds for Kodi.

Take care while typing in the URL. Even a single mistake will prevent you from installing the Diamond Dust Kodi Build. When done, click OK.

6. You also need to enter the name for this source. Select the box where you can enter the name.

7. Let’s go with diamond and click OK.

8. Click OK to save the changes.

This is how you add the source to Kodi for the Diamond Dust build.

Part 2: Install the Diamond Repo and Diamond Build Wizard

Diamond Repo is the repository that you will fetch from the source you added a little bit ago. From this repository you will install the Diamond Build Wizard. This is the Wizard from which you will eventually extract the Diamond Dust build on Kodi.

Here is how it goes:

1. Go to the Settings page by clicking back on your device once. Then, select Add-ons.

2. Select the item Install from zip file.

3. Click Yes on the warning pop-up screen.

4. Find and click diamond (or any other name you might have added earlier for the source).

5. On the next screen, click repository.diamond-kodi-19.zip on Kodi 19. On Kodi 18, click repository.diamond-kodi-18.zip.

6. In about a minute you will see the message on the top right saying Diamond Build K19 Repo or Diamond Wizard Repo Add-on installed.

You have installed the Diamond Wizard Repo. Let’s install the Diamond Build Wizard now.

7. Now open Install from repository on the same window.

8. Open Diamond Build K19 Repo (Primary Server USA). On Kodi 18, open Diamond Wizard Repo.

9. Click Program add-ons.

10. Click Diamond Build 19 or Diamond Build Wizard.

11. On the bottom right click Install.

12. Wait for the Diamond Build Wizard Add-on installed or similar notification message on the top-right corner of the screen. The wizard takes 2-3 minutes to install.

13. As soon as the wizard is installed and the above notification appears, a bunch of popups are displayed on your Kodi screen. Click OK when you see the following pop-up.

14. Another pop-up will appear, click CLOSE.

This is how you install the Diamond Build Wizard.

Part 3: Install Diamond Dust Kodi Build

We will now use the Diamond Wizard to install the Diamond Dust Kodi build. Follow the steps below:

1. Go to Program add-ons from Kodi home-screen > Add-ons.

Now click and open the Diamond 19 Wizard or Diamond Build Wizard.

2. Select Build Menu. Note that you might encounter a different interface on Kodi 18 and 17.

3. Select The Diamond Build / TDB (formerly Diamond Dust Build).

4. The wizard will alert you that it’s ready to install the build, click Continue.

5. You now need to make a choice whether to go for Fresh Install or choose No. My recommendation is Fresh Install. This option will wipe your Kodi clean and install the Diamond Dust Kodi build on the default Kodi. That’s how you get the builds to perform optimally. When you choose No, you may be able to salvage some existing data (not all), but the build may not perform well.

Click Fresh Install.

6. Click Fresh Start to re-confirm your choice. After that, the Wizard will start deleting files and folders from your Kodi app.

7. Wait for the Wizard to download and install the build. The process will take several minutes.

8. When the The Diamond Build has been installed, click OK to force-close the app.

This is how you install The Diamond Build or Diamond Dust Kodi Build.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below. 

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.

Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).

Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.

Step 7: Click Download.

Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.

Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.

Quick Tour of Diamond Dust Kodi Build

Open Kodi again on your device after installing the build. You will notice that the Kodi home-screen has changed dramatically. This is the new home-screen now:

Most Kodi builds stick to some standards in the layout. They have the main menu-bar strip running across from left to right and is usually positioned closer to the bottom than the top.

The menu-bar also has the submenu-bar underneath it.  The whole setup makes navigation a lot easier.

Cycle through the menu-bar and you will find Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, Sports, and other options. These home-screen items help you get started quickly. Choose a menu item, such as Movies, and pick the desired submenu item to explore further.

The Diamond Dust Kodi build also shows other onscreen items related to the chosen item in the Menu and submenu bars.

In the image below, I chose the Add-ons option in the menu-bar and click on Video Add-ons in the submenu bar. What I see now is the list of the addons preloaded on Kodi Diamond Dust build.

Explore this build and find everything else it has to offer.

Winding Up

I ran into the Diamond Dust Kodi build by serendipity. With so many builds and addons falling apart, Diamond Dust build is certainly a delightful discovery. It looks good, performs even better and comes with loads of pre-installed video add-ons. Go ahead and give it a go.
