Prerequisites
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty details of installation, there are a few crucial prerequisites to address. These steps ensure a smoother and safer experience, and skipping them could lead to frustration down the road.
First and foremost, privacy and security are paramount. Streaming content online, especially through third-party add-ons, carries inherent risks. Your internet service provider (ISP) can monitor your online activity, and in some cases, accessing unauthorized content can lead to legal repercussions. That’s where a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, comes into play. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address, effectively shielding your online activity from prying eyes. While we cannot endorse illegal activity, we strongly advocate for using a VPN to protect your privacy while using Kodi and any add-ons. So, what VPN do you use? Do you have any recommendations? Sharing your VPN preferences in the comments could help others make informed decisions about their online security! Consider this your open forum for VPN recommendations.
Now, let’s talk about enabling “Unknown Sources” within Kodi. This setting allows you to install add-ons from sources outside the official Kodi repository. While this is necessary for installing Covenant, it also opens the door to potential security risks. Only install add-ons from repositories you trust and whose safety has been vouched for by reliable sources in the Kodi community. What are your favorite trusted Kodi repositories? Which repos have stood the test of time and proven themselves to be reliable and safe? Sharing your preferred trusted repositories in the comments will help new Kodi users find dependable sources for add-ons.
Lastly, let’s talk version. This Covenant Kodi add-on installation guide has been tested and verified on Kodi Nexus, but should be compatible with other versions. Are you on a slightly older version of Kodi, perhaps Matrix or Leia? We would love to hear about how the installation went on those older versions.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
With the prerequisites out of the way, let’s move on to the heart of the matter: installing the Covenant Kodi add-on. This section will provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to get you up and running quickly.
Find a Reliable Repository
Finding a reliable and up-to-date repository is paramount for a smooth installation. Unfortunately, Kodi repositories can be ephemeral, appearing and disappearing without much notice. This is why we cannot provide a definitive repository source within this article. However, that doesn’t mean that help cannot be found. A quick search for “Covenant Kodi repository [current month]” on your search engine should help you locate several reputable sources. Look for results with recent activity, positive feedback from other users, and active support forums or communities. A good repository is constantly updated and maintained, so finding one with recent activity is crucial. Did you find a working repo? Share it in the comments to help other users! Only share repositories that you have personal experience with!
Add Source in Kodi
Once you’ve identified a reliable repository, the next step is to add it as a source within Kodi. Open Kodi and navigate to the File Manager. You’ll typically find this under the “Settings” or “System” menu. Click on “Add Source” and then click on the “<None>” option. This will allow you to enter the URL of the repository. Carefully type in the exact URL you found in the previous step. Be sure to double-check for typos, as even a small mistake can prevent Kodi from connecting to the repository. Give the source a descriptive name, such as “Covenant Repo” or “MyAddonsRepo.” This will make it easier to identify later on. Once you’ve entered the URL and name, click “OK” to save the source. Screenshot one should include the addition of the source URL, while screenshot two should include the user naming the source.
Install Repository from Zip File
Next, you’ll need to install the repository from the zip file. Return to the Kodi home screen and navigate to “Add-ons.” Click on the package installer icon in the top-left corner (it looks like a small open box). Select “Install from zip file.” Locate the source you added in the previous step (e.g., “Covenant Repo”). Click on it, and you should see a zip file for the repository. Select the zip file and click “OK” to install the repository. Kodi will download and install the repository files. Screenshot three should show the user installing from zip, while screenshot four shows the user locating the zip file.
Install Covenant Add-on
With the repository installed, you can now install the Covenant Kodi add-on itself. From the Add-ons screen, click on the package installer icon again. This time, select “Install from repository.” You should see a list of installed repositories. Select the repository you just installed (e.g., “Covenant Repo”). Navigate to the “Video add-ons” section and find Covenant in the list. Click on Covenant and then click “Install.” Kodi will download and install the Covenant add-on and any necessary dependencies. Screenshot five should show the user installing from repository, while screenshot six shows the user finding and installing Covenant.
Wait for Installation
Be patient as Kodi downloads and installs the add-on. The installation time can vary depending on your internet speed and the size of the add-on. Once the installation is complete, you’ll see an “Add-on installed” notification in the top-right corner of the screen.
Troubleshooting
Even with careful adherence to the steps outlined above, you might encounter a few hiccups along the way. Here are some common troubleshooting tips to help you overcome installation challenges.
One of the most common errors is “Could not connect to repository.” This usually indicates a problem with the repository URL or your internet connection. Double-check the URL for typos and ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Have you encountered this error? Share your solution in the comments below!
Another common issue is “Failed to install dependency.” This means that Covenant requires other add-ons to function properly, and Kodi is unable to download and install them automatically. Try manually installing the dependencies by searching for them in the Kodi repository. Have you seen this error? If so, we would love to hear about how you worked through the issue in the comments section!
Sometimes, the repository itself may be experiencing technical difficulties. You can check the repository’s status by visiting its website or searching for reports from other users. If the repository is down, you’ll need to wait for it to come back online before you can install Covenant.
Clearing Kodi’s cache can sometimes resolve installation issues. To do this, navigate to Kodi’s settings and find the “System” or “Maintenance” section. Look for an option to clear the cache. Does clearing the cache work for you? Let us know if it solved your problems in the comments!
If the repository is already installed but not updating properly, you can force it to refresh. Navigate to the Add-ons section, select “My add-ons,” and then “Add-on repository.” Right-click on the repository and select “Force refresh.” Have you used this method to refresh a repository? We would love to hear about your experiences in the comments.
As a last resort, you may need to reinstall Kodi completely. This will remove all of your add-ons and settings, so be sure to back up anything important before proceeding. If reinstalling Kodi helps your Covenant installation, be sure to let us know down below!
Using Covenant
Once Covenant is successfully installed, you’re ready to start exploring its vast library of movies and television shows. The add-on’s interface is relatively straightforward. You’ll find various categories, such as “Movies,” “TV Shows,” “New Releases,” and “My List.” You can browse these categories to find content that interests you.
To play a movie or TV show, simply select it from the list. Covenant will then search for available streams. Choose a stream from the list and click on it to start playback. Keep in mind that the quality and reliability of streams can vary, so you may need to try different streams to find one that works well.
Alternatives to Covenant
If you’re having trouble with Covenant, there are other great Kodi add-ons available. Some popular alternatives include add-on one, add-on two, and add-on three.
