This guide provides instructions on installation; however, we do not endorse or condone any illegal activity.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have:

Kodi installed: Download and install the latest version of Kodi from the official website.
A reliable internet connection: A stable connection is crucial for smooth downloading and installation.
Understanding of risk: Using third-party add-ons carries inherent risks, including potential malware or unstable performance. Proceed with caution.

Installing Ares Wizard

The installation process involves enabling unknown sources within Kodi and then installing the add-on from a third-party repository. Remember to always exercise caution when installing add-ons from unofficial sources.

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

Open Kodi.
Navigate to Settings (the cog icon).
Select System Settings.
Choose Add-ons.
Toggle the Unknown sources option to ON.
Acknowledge the warning message that appears.

Step 2: Add the Ares Wizard Repository

Navigate back to the Kodi home screen.
Select Settings > File Manager.
Click Add source.
A box will appear. Click <None> and enter the following URL exactly as it appears: [Insert Repository URL Here - This is crucial, as the URL may change. Always check a reputable source for the most up-to-date URL.] Ensure you accurately type the URL to prevent errors.
Give this media source a name, such as "Ares Wizard Repo." Click OK.
Verify the URL and name are correct before clicking OK again.

Step 3: Install Ares Wizard

Go back to the Kodi home screen.
Select Add-ons.
Click the open box icon (install from zip file).
Choose the media source you created (e.g., "Ares Wizard Repo").
Navigate to the Ares Wizard zip file. This is typically found within a folder labeled 'repository.areswizard-x.x.x.zip' (where 'x.x.x' represents the version number). The specific file name might vary slightly; choose the zip file.
Wait for the notification that Ares Wizard has been successfully installed.

Step 4: Install Ares Wizard from the Repository (Optional)

Some users prefer installing from the repository after adding the source. This step may not be necessary depending on the version you download in Step 3. If not previously installed using the zip file, repeat Step 3 but select ‘Install from Repository’ instead of ‘Install from Zip File.’ Then navigate through the repository to locate Ares Wizard.

Important Considerations

Repository Updates: Keep your Ares Wizard repository updated regularly to ensure you have the latest version and bug fixes.
Security: Regularly scan your device for malware after installing any third-party add-on.
Legal Compliance: Only access content you are legally authorized to view.

This guide provides a general overview of installing Ares Wizard. The specific steps may vary slightly depending on your Kodi version. Always refer to reliable and updated sources for accurate instructions. Remember that using Ares Wizard responsibly and legally is your responsibility.
