This guide will take you through the installation process of Equinox Build on Kodi 19 Matrix. Equinox is currently available only for Kodi 19 Matrix. The instructions will work on all Kodi devices, including Windows, Mac, Android TV & Boxes, Amazon FireStick, Fire TV Cube, Android & iOS mobile devices, and more.
Note: Equinox build is no longer available. Please try one of the other builds from our list of Best Builds for Kodi.
Equinox Kodi Build is one of the fewer builds that have stood the ground ever since the crackdown on Kodi addons and builds. This build has been around for several months and continues to be updated regularly. This tells me that this build is here to stay.
This simple, fuss-free build offers a bunch of preloaded video add-ons for hours of streaming. Whether you want to watch live TV or on-demand movies and shows, Equinox Kodi Build has it all. You will also find a special section for sports and documentaries.
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 Equinox Kodi Build
The Equinox Kodi build is installed from an external source that is not the part of the official Kodi Add-on Repository. Such third-party builds can only be installed when the security setting called Unknown Sources is enabled.
So, the first thing we need to do is enable this option if it is disabled. Here is how you do it:

That’s how you install the Equinox Build on Kodi!
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.
A Quick Rundown of Equinox Kodi Build
Now that you have installed the MaLi Equinox Cosmos Build (or whichever build you chose), you may want to start using it right away. Go right ahead and reopen Kodi. You’ll first be welcomed to the new build when you do that.
I’ll show you the MaLi Equinox build briefly. Let’s scroll down on the Library menu.
After that, click Equinox.
You’ll now be welcomed to the Equinox build. Here’s the home screen of the build.
Note: If the build is too slow, it might be updating the addons. This usually happens on the first run. It will get faster once all the addons are updated. So, it’s best to wait for a while before you start using the new Equinox Build.
Let’s talk about the interface first.
The layout of the Equinox Kodi build looks familiar, as it also has the menu bar that runs horizontally across the bottom of the screen. But, there is a remarkable difference. The menu bar displays only one item at a time.
As you see in the image above, the default option on launch is Library.
You can cycle through the main menu bar by pressing either the left or right navigation keys (or by swiping left or right if you are using a touch device).
When I press the right navigation key (or swipe right), one of the next options is Media. Go further and you will see more options.
Explore the various options on the home screen of the Equinox Build to see everything it offers. Let us now take a look at the pre-loaded addons. Click Addons.
Here is the list of the pre-installed addons that come with this build.
You can scroll down and find more. I can see there are addons for on-demand movies and shows, sports, music, adult content, and more.
Summary
I have taken you through pretty much everything related to Equinox Kodi Build, including how to install the Equinox build on Kodi and how to navigate it to watch content. A whole lot is uncovered when you explore the build yourself. So, go ahead and give it a shot. Let me know if you encounter any issues during installation. You can find more builds in our Best Kodi builds list too.
