Best Kodi Build 2017? Dimitrology Boom Shakalaka Top Choice!

You’ve installed Kodi on your new Firestick; now what? The best entertainment bang for your buck comes from installing a build. Builds install several ready to use add-ons at once, then go on to give Kodi a facelift as well. The best Kodi build will be one that has everything you want… and nothing you don’t. It also won’t take too much space or slow your entertainment system to a crawl. Of course, to be considered the best Kodi build, it should also be easy to use; amirite?

We realize the subjectivity inherent to this post, so if you prefer, check out our constantly updated roundup of the best Kodi builds!

Best Kodi Build? Boom Shakalaka, Baby!

Dimitrology hosts one of the greatest mega repositories known to the Kodi third party community. Now, Dimitrology put a build together to satisfy all of your entertainment needs while retaining a very slight footprint. In fact, Dimitrology put together three builds, as not everyone wants or needs the extra size added by every XXX option known to Kodi. They might even want an extra-slim build without all the graphic pizzazz bringing up the girth. We’ll concentrate on the R rated full version of the best Kodi build for 2017 in this guide, but you will see where the paths diverge. There’s really no difference in their installation.

Start Clean

Note that when installing a build, which has many add-ons, it is best to install in a clean Kodi installation. Unless you really know what you are doing, get rid of Kodi and install it fresh in order to install the Dimitrology Boom Shakalaka build.

Repo Location for Experienced Installers

If you’ve installed a few add-ons and have a hang of how Kodi handles things, then you may only need the Dimitrology repository location. Actually, you need the wizard zip file name, too. To install the Boom Shakalaka build, use the source URL http://dimitrology.com/repo, then look for the plugin.video.wizardology.zip file. Be sure to check out all of the other cool goodies found at the Dimitrology source location.

Prep Kodi for Third Party Add-ons

You must allow unknown sources to be used for third party add-on installation in Kodi 17. The XBMC Foundation and Kodi Project want to make sure everyone knows there are risks to installing unofficial add-ons.

1. Enter Settings (gear icon) to the top left of the menu
   

   System Menu

2. Go Into the System Settings
   

   Go Into System Settings

3. Choose Add-ons, then switch Unknown Sources on
   

   Toggle Unknown Sources

4. A security risk dialog helps you fear unknown sources accessing your system.

Uh Oh…

1. You’ll need to visit http://www.dimitrology.com/getcode to get an installation code for the best Kodi build. Use your phone or computer or whatever you like to visit the page, then get the code. There is a new random 6 digit install code generated every hour. As a result, you may be one of the approximately 1% receiving a code that’s obsolete by the time you input it. I could have sent you there before starting this install, but then chances would be much greater for an obsolete code. Just go back to the web page and refresh for the new code if this is the case, then click OK to get into the settings to input the code once you’ve visited there.

2. Then, input the code you got from the web page.
