Xanax Kodi build has been designed by the same developers who gave us the Durex Build. If you have used Kodi for a while, you would probably know that Durex was one of the most popular builds one. It is now defunct. However, with the nearly same design and layout, Xanax clearly looks like a replacement.
The build also comes with a decent collection of video add-ons including Exodus Redux, Deathstar and more. This makes sure you have plenty of streaming choices available. It is a build with a moderate size and works fine on most devices. We have also included Xanax to our list of Best Kodi Builds.
How to Install Xanax Build on Kodi
Kodi Addons / builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free Movies / TV shows / Sports. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect 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 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.

I am about to take you through the installation process. However, before I do that, there is one thing you will need to take care of – enable the security option Unknown Sources. This will let you install any third-party build you want on Kodi including Xanax Build. Follow these steps:
1. Open Kodi and stay on the home screen. Now click the gear icon in the top-left to open the Kodi Settings
2. Now open System settings on the following screen
3. Highlight/select the menu item called Add-ons on the left. Now go to the right part and switch ON the option Unknown Sources
4. Confirm your intent to keep this option on by clicking Yes when prompted. Don’t bother yourself with this warning as Xanax is a safe build
Note: After installing Xanax build, it would be a good idea to turn Unknown Sources OFF again.
Detailed Installation Instructions
We now get started with the installation steps of Xanax build on Kodi. It may look a bit complicated but trust me it is not. Just follow each step carefully and do not break the order. Here we go:
#1. You want to click the Settings option again on the home-screen of Kodi
#2. When you see this window, click File manager
#3. Now click the option Add source
#4. Next, click <None> to replace it with the source URL
#5. Go ahead and type the source path on the next window that appears.
Use the new link: http://xanaxrepo.com/repo/
Old URL http://teamdork.xyz/repo/ is not working
Type the URL carefully. It is case sensitive
Click OK
#6. You now need to name the URL/path that you added above. Highlight the designated field as you see in the image below and choose any name you like. I am going with TD
Recheck and make sure your window looks similar to mine.
Click OK
#7. You now want to head back to the Kodi home-screen. When you are there, click Add-ons option on the left menu
#8. Go to the top-left corner of the next screen and click the symbol/icon representing an open-box to open Package installer
#9. Go ahead and open Install from zip file
#10. Now you want to click the source name you provided earlier. For example, I am clicking TD the source name I chose
#11. Now open the zip file repository.xanrepo-x.x.zip
#12. Xanax Repository should install in a minute. You will see the notification on the top-right
#13. Now click the option Install from repository
#14. Go ahead and open the Xanax Repository
#15. Open Program add-ons
#16. Click Xanax Wizard
#17. Now click the option Install
#18. Wait for the notification Xanax Wizard Add-on installed
#19. When prompted, click Continue
#20. Now click Build Menu when you see this prompt
Note: In case you are on the Kodi home-screen, go to Add-ons > Program Add-ons > Xanax Wizard > Build Menu
#21. You will now see the Xanax Kodi build hosted on multiple servers. You can choose any server you like. If the build doesn’t install from a server, you may choose another. As I write this guide, there are 5 active servers for the build.
#22. Click Fresh Install
You may also go for Standard Install. However, my experience says that wiping Kodi clean before installing any build is always a better idea.
#23. Click Continue to confirm that you give your consent to wipe Kodi clean and restore it to its default configuration
#24. Wait for the build to download and install. It may take a few minutes and depends greatly on the device and connection speed
#26. Click Force Close when the build is finally installed. Reload Profile option doesn’t really work and ends up crashing Kodi anyway.
Great! You have successfully installed Xanax Build on Kodi. Enjoy!
Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons / 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, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Kodi users are strongly advised to connect a VPN while streaming. A VPN for Kodi will bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and geo-restriction on popular Add-ons. I always connect ExpressVPN on all my streaming devices and I suggest you do the same.
ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for the full refund.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of the 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.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
A Quick Overview of Xanax Kodi Build

Here is the home-screen of Xanax Kodi Build:
Xanax look a lot like the Durex Kodi build. If you have used Durex before, you will feel a great sense of familiarity. That’s expected because Xanax is the replacement of Durex build.

When you select a streaming related option, such as Movies, the related submenu items and corresponding video-addons appear underneath the menu bar. Here, you only see the featured addons. If you want to explore all the video add-ons you can go to Add-ons > Video Add-ons.

The build offers a professional and easy to use interface. The standard layout makes sure you get familiar with it quickly if you have used Kodi builds before. If not, you still get the hang of it within minutes.
