How to Install Exodus on Kodi 18.8 Leia in Ubuntu 20.10

Kodi is a cross-platform media center that allows you to play films, movies, television shows, and more. It is an open-source media player and is currently managed by XBMC, a non-profit organization. Users get tons of add-ons with Kodi, of which Exodus is the most popular add-on.

Exodus is famous for its large collection of superior-quality movies and shows. Kodi developers have nothing to do with Exodus add-ons, since these features are third party add-ons. The developers of the original Exodus add-on have abandoned it. Luckily, we have an alternative to Exodus in the Exodus Redux add-on. Redux is a new add-on that does rather well among Kodi fans, and it offers loads of content to stream. This add-on is frequently updated and well-kept. Undoubtedly, Exodus Redux is a great replacement for the original Exodus add-on. This article shows you how to install the Exodus Redux add-on in Kodi 18.8 Lei in Ubuntu 20.10.

Installing Kodi in Ubuntu 20.10

To get the Exodus Redux add-on, you will need to have Kodi installed on your system. If Kodi is not already installed on your system, then install it using the following process. To install Kodi, launch the terminal, and execute the command below:

$sudo apt install kodi

That is all there is to it. After you have completed this step, you can find the Kodi application in your Applications list.
