This guide will show you how to install Kodi 20 Nexus on MacOS. By
following these steps, you can use Kodi as a native application on MacOS and
enjoy all of its benefits.
The steps outlined below were performed on Kodi 20 Nexus, the
latest stable version, and should also work on older versions such as Kodi 19
Matrix.
Kodi developers are constantly working to make it compatible
with more devices and operating systems. To install Kodi, you need to have
macOS version 10.13 or higher.
However, before we begin, let's review the requirements your Mac
device must meet, in addition to the operating system.
Kodi Requirements
Kodi is a lightweight application that can run smoothly on MacOS
10.13 or higher, without the need for a modern processor or graphics card. Here
are the specific requirements:
·
CPU – Kodi is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
As long as a Mac processor is not older than two decades, it will work with
Kodi.
·
GPU : Kodi requires a graphics card that supports hardware
video decoding and OpenGL 2.0. Any graphics card on the market today supports
these features, regardless of its age. Additionally, Apple devices typically
have more than adequate graphics capabilities since they are frequently used
for graphic and video editing tasks.
·
Hard Drive – Kodi is a space-saving application
that only requires 150MB of hard drive space. You can easily configure Kodi to
use your existing collection of files on your computer.
·
Operating system : As long as you have MacOS 10.13 or higher installed, it
will be enough.
And this is all you will need. Let us now see how to install
Kodi on MacOS.
Install Kodi 20 Nexus on MacOS
By following the steps below, you can easily install Kodi on
your MacOS. Simply download the DMG file and launch the installer to get
started:
·
The first step is to download the Kodi DMG file from the official Kodi page.
·
Scroll down the page and click on MacOS.
·
A pop-up will open containing a link with the text “Installer
(64bit)”. Clicking this button will download the DMG file. The file
that you will download will be the one corresponding to the latest
version of Kodi. As you can see, you can also download pre-release versions
and builds in development, although the latter are usually unstable, so they
are not recommended.
·
The DMG file will download to your system. It occupies around
64MB. When it is completely downloaded go to the download directory of
your system. You can access it from the MacOS Dock.
·
When you click on the downloaded file you will see a blue window
with the Kodi logo in the background. Drag the Kodi icon to the Applications
folder to install Kodi. After a few moments, Kodi will be installed.
·
To access Kodi, you will need to access the macOS Applications
directory. You can access this directory from Finder by clicking
Applications in the left sidebar of the desktop.
·
To open Kodi, double-click its icon.
·
As it is an application provided by third parties, you may not
be able to open it. In this case, press the COMMAND key
and right-click on the Kodi icon. Select Open and
the app should open. In case it does not open, go to System Preferences from
the left menu of the top taskbar of the desktop, which is the one with Apple.
From this menu, click General and then Security &
Privacy. In the lower section, you will be able to select the origin of the
downloaded applications that will be supported. Select any source, which is the
bottom option.
And that’s all. Kodi will already be installed on your system.
