How to Install Cosmic One Build on Kodi in Super Easy Steps

Last updated January 1, 2023 By James

This post outlines the steps to install Cosmic One Kodi Build. I took the images used in this on Windows 11 PC. However, the interface of Kodi is identical across supported platforms. Therefore, the steps apply to Kodi on FireStick, Fire TV Cube, macOS, iOS, Android smartphones, Android TVs, and more.

install cosmic one kodi buildWhat Is Cosmic One?

Cosmic One is a Kodi build designed to facilitate content selection and browsing. The default Kodi skin is featureless. However, you can make it more lively and exciting with the Cosmic One build.

Cosmic One, like many other Kodi builds, follows the streaming-first approach. It puts the most used streaming categories right on the home screen, including Movies, Shows, Sports, and more. It also displays the recommended content for the chosen type.

In addition to being more streaming-friendly, the build pre-packs numerous preinstalled addons. This eliminates the need to download the addons separately. You will find popular addons like The Crew, Alvin, Kodiverse, Ezra, Genocide, and many more.

Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue

Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but it's important to remember that streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble. Your IP address 3.17.249.235 is exposed to everyone. You should use a reliable Kodi VPN while streaming to protect yourself online. A VPN will keep your streaming activities private and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN out there. It's easy to install on any device, including Amazon FireStick. Plus, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and if you sign up for an annual plan, you get 3 extra months free.

Is Cosmic One Safe?

According to Virus Total, the Cosmic One build has not been flagged by any security vendors as malicious. The following image shows the Virus Total scan of the Crew Repo. The Crew Repo is the source of the Cosmic One Kodi build.

Is Cosmic One Legal?

It is beyond the scope of FireStickHow to verify whether the Cosmic One build is legal or not. This build features several unofficial addons. These addons may scrape video links from unverified websites. It is impossible for us to check every source separately.

I am not the one to encourage piracy or copyright violations. However, I do champion your right to privacy. Therefore, I recommend ExpressVPN to hide your browsing and streaming activities.

How to Install Cosmic One Kodi Build

You already know that Cosmic One is a third-party Kodi build. However, getting third-party addons or builds is a bit long-winded because it includes several extra steps.

However, I have tried to simplify the process by splitting it into multiple sections as follows:

  • Part 1: Change Kodi Security Setting to Enable Cosmic Build Installation
  • Part 2: Add the Crew Repo Source
  • Part 3: Install the Crew Repo and The Boys Wizard
  • Part 4: Install the Cosmic One Build from the Boys Wizard

I will explain what each piece means when I will get to it.

Part 1: Change Kodi Security Setting to Enable Cosmic Build Installation

Third-party builds are blocked on Kodi. To unblock them, you can change the Kodi security setting. Here is how it goes:

1. From the home screen of Kodi, click the Settings icon in the top-left corner (the one with the cog).

2. Next, open the System tile on the following window.

3. Click the option Add-ons in the menu on the left. Then, on the right part of the same screen, enable Unknown Sources (the toggle should be in the on position).

enable Unknown Sources

4. You may now choose Yes on this prompt to continue.

You have successfully configured Kodi to allow the installation of the Cosmic Build.

Part 2: Add the Crew Repo Source

The third-party builds are hosted on external servers. Therefore, you need to indicate Kodi to download the repository from an external source. For example, the Cosmic One build is part of the Crew Repo. Here is how you add the source:

1. Open the Kodi Settings once again from the home screen.

kodi settings

2. Click File manager on the following window.

kodi file manager

3. Next, you want to click the option Add source. As you can see, this option appears in both halves of this window. You may click any one of them. Also, if you are using a computer, you may need to double-click Add Source.

4. This is the window where you will add the source path and the source name. First, click <None>.

click on none tab

5. Use the virtual keyboard to type the following path: https://team-crew.github.io

Recheck the path and ensure you typed it without error before clicking OK.

Note: This URL redirects you to the original source of the Crew Repo and the Cosmic One Build. FireStickHow is not affiliated with the build, the Crew Repo, or those who host this URL.

enter repo link

6. Click the empty input box where Kodi asks you to enter the source name (as highlighted in the image below).

enter the source name

7. You must now give this source a name. Let’s go with the name Crew because it identifies with the Crew Repo. However, if you don’t like this name, you may choose any other. Click OK.

8. This is how this window should now look like. Click OK when everything seems right.

click on ok button

9. The name Crew appears on the window where you click Add Source earlier.

Great! You have added the source path.

Part 3: Install the Crew Repo and The Boys Wizard

Let me quickly tell you what we are going to do here. The Boys Wizard is a collection of several Kodi builds. Cosmic One is one of its builds. The Boys Wizard is an addon in the Crew Repository.

So, you are first going to install the Crew Repository. Next, you will install the Boys Wizard from the repository. Then, you install the Cosmic One build from the Wizard in the next section.

Here are the instructions:

1. You want to go back to Kodi Settings and open Add-ons.

16. I am choosing Ignore on this popup. We will go to the build menu in the next section.

Part 4: Install the Cosmic One Build from the Boys Wizard

4. The build menu is on the left. Scroll down and click Cosmic One, as you see in the following image:

5. You may now click Fresh Install on the right. This will wipe Kodi clean before installing the build. If you don’t want to reset Kodi, click Install instead (not recommended).

click Fresh Install

6. Go ahead and click Yes to start downloading and installing the build.

click Yes to start downloading

7. The build is now getting downloaded on your device. This could take 2-3 minutes (or less, depending on your internet connection and the traffic to the server.)

It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content. However, do not forget that all your streaming activities and online identity are unprotected and exposed to your Government and your ISP. In addition, streaming with third-party services may cause legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can easily protect yourself and go invisible from your Government and ISP by using a VPN. Whenever I stream with Kodi, I always connect to ExpressVPN and recommend the same to you.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and the most streaming-friendly VPN. It is also the most secure VPN.

With ExpressVPN, you get a 30-day money-back guarantee as well. So if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you will get a full refund within 30 days.

Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. We do not condone breaking copyright laws.

Before you start using Kodi for streaming, here is how you can protect yourself with ExpressVPN:

Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN Here

Step 2: Download ExpressVPN on your device by clicking HERE

Step 3: Open the ExpressVPN app on your device. Sign in with your account. Click the connect/power button to connect to the VPN

Great! You have successfully secured yourself with the best Kodi VPN.
