In this tutorial, you will learn to install Xanax build on Kodi 18.4 and Kodi 17.6 Krypton. The installation method works on Amazon FireStick, Fire TV Stick & Fire TV Cube, Android TVs and Boxes, Android Mobiles & Tablets, Computers and more.
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 moderate size and works fine on most devices. We have also included Xanax to our list of Best Kodi Builds.
Update: Xanax Build is now AVAILABLE for Kodi 18 Leia
How to Install Xanax Build on Kodi
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN which is the best VPN for Kodi. You can get 3-months free and save 49% on its annual plans.
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
Xanax Kodi build will get activated when you open Kodi for the first time after installing it. The first run of the build takes a while as it sets up, configures and updates addons and settings. Therefore, on the first run, allow the build a few minutes to get prepared for use.
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.
The layout is pretty standard with the menu bar across the width of the build. The menu bar features important options like Movies, TV Shows, Family, Sports TV, Paid TV, Free TV, Sports, Music and more.
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.
Here are some popular addons that come preloaded with Xanax Kodi Build:
This means you can stream Movies, Shows, Live TV, Sports videos, etc. with Xanax build on Kodi.
Verdict
Xanax is a moderately sized build that works smoothly on almost all the devices. The performance is acceptable even on the low-spec devices like Android Box and FireStick. 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.
The build packs a decent collection of video-addons for all your streaming needs. With popular addons like Exodus Redux, DeathStar, there are plenty of options to watch your favorite content. It is a good build to have, especially if you loved Durex Kodi build.

Question: is Xanax being maintained? i.e. updates to the build are being put out so that add on updates are staying connected?
Hi Peter, Xanax build was last updated on August 31, 2019. You can check that in the top-right corner when you are on the home screen of the build.
I don’t get this. I’m doing the 7 day trial of ExpressVPN, and have 1GB FIOS. When I run speed test I get 10MB upload and download speeds. I installed Xanax and everything takes seemingly forever. I have a brand new Firestick. If I accidentally click the Home key on the remote there’s no way to resume play. I followed your other tip to speed up access as well. It all just seems clumsy and a huge time sink. What am I missing?
Hi, ExpressVPN is fast, but all its servers may not offer the same speeds. Try connecting to a different server with faster connection.
About pressing the Home key accidentally, yes, unfortunately, the videos may not resume once you exit Kodi
Yep tried others. I choose Greased Lighting, then the Fast Autoplay takes a while, and fast forward more than a couple minutes kicks you back to the menu. The “Working…” spinning wheel is maddeningly long, the UX is just painful to wait through. What else am I missing?
Hi, I don’t think you are missing anything. But I must ask, which region/country/city server are you connecting to? VPNs offer the best results when connected to the servers closer to your physical location. 10MBPs is too slow. My ExpressVPN is connecting many times faster than that on almost all the servers I tried.
NYC. And I’m on the trial. Does the trial throttle?
Hi, not at all. The trial is to let you take a test drive of the service and decide whether you wish to continue with it or not. ExpressVPN wouldn’t want you to have a bad experience and lose a customer.
Right now I am having trouble installing xanax back onto my firestick. It keeps giving me an error on the 17.6 side and the lesla side. Is there a work around at the moment
Hi Danielle, I just tried and it worked on my FireStick. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Kodi.
If it still does not work, this guide might help: https://www.firesticktricks.com/failed-to-install-addon-from-zip-file-on-kodi.html
Hi! I have tried a few different add-ons with Xanax, but the thing stumping me is how to manually search for a title. When I select search, it brings up a keyboard to type in titles, but once I highlight them it kicks me out back to the main app menu to reload Kodi. Any tutorials or options to search a specific film or show and not just scroll through the lists? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jessica, yes, exactly the same thing happened with me. Thankfully, I found a workaround.
DO NOT click the title in the search results when it appears above the keyboard. Instead, after typing in the keyword, click the ‘bent’ arrow key in the bottom-left of the keyboard. This bent arrow key is on the left of the space key.
How do i see movie and tv show previews using Xanax?
Hi Don, I don’t think you can do that. You could choose a movie or episode and when the streaming links line up, you may or may not get the links to the trailers.
Newbie here. I have installed Xanax and been loving in. The other night I went through and saved tons of movies and shows to my favorites. Only 3 saved to my “super” favorites that I can access from the yellow star at the bottom left. Where did all the others go?
Hi Erin, you may not be able to access all your Super Favorite movies or episodes by clicking that yellow star.
Here is what you can do:
– Select Movies in the main menu on the home-screen
– Click Super Favorites in the submenu to access all the movies you have saved in Super Favorites
Repeat the same for TV Shows and other categories
Hello and Thanks for a Build I can actually Read the Sub Titles on Me 55″ Screen…! Came upon one small issue tho… While installing and letting it do it’s thing, it stopped at… Enabling : repository.marduk
Do I really need that Repo…?!? Or can I exit out of it and maybee d/l from another source…?!? Thanks, for All You do Have A Great Day and May GOD Bless You and Yours…gw..
Hi GW, the link provided in the guide is the only source to download the build. I am not sure whether you faced this issue during installation or while running the build after installing it. Could you please provide more details?
On the Xanax build version 17.6 using the url teamdork under the TV shows all the apps work however if used the 17.6 using the url Xanaxrepo under the TV show apps only Genesis works.
Hi Belladonna, Team Dork URL is not reliable. That’s why I have struck it out in the guide. Please use the Xanax URL only.
Step 24 is stuck on Connecting. Tried multiple times 🙁
Hi Uros, worked fine for me. Try to download it from another server. Also, there is a chance you might have run into a temporary problem.
Is there a way to get rid of real-debrid completely period ?..or at least turn off the pop-ups?
Hi Jimmy, these are the add-on triggered prompts. I am not really sure if there is a way to turn them off.
Do you have to set up a real debridement account as asks for user name and password and gives me a code ???
Hi Christopher, yes you need a Real Debrid account. If you don’t want to sign up for Real Debrid, you may click ‘Cancel’ when the code pops up
Here you can learn more about Real Debrid: https://www.firesticktricks.com/real-debrid-kodi.html
