How to Install Kelebek on Kodi in 2026: Your Ultimate Fix-It Guide

Updated on February 8, 2026

If you’ve fired up your TV Box or Fire Stick recently and found your Kodi setup looks like a digital graveyard, you’re not alone. In late 2025, the community was hit by one of the biggest repository purges in history. Giants like Luar shut down, leaving thousands of users staring at a frustrating log error and addons that simply won’t load. If you’re here to learn how to install Kelebek on Kodi in 2026, you’ve come to the right place to resurrect your media center.

You’re probably asking, “Is there a safe, working alternative to Luar?” The answer is a resounding yes, and its name is Kelebek.

In this definitive guide, we’ll walk you through, step-by-step, how to install the official Kelebek repository source. Think of it as the essential Swiss Army knife you need to repair your Kodi, install vital scripts, and get your system ready for 2026.

📋 Critical Prerequisite: For Kelebek and modern scripts to work correctly in 2026, you must have Kodi 22 ‘Piers’ (recommended) or the newer Kodi 23 for advanced users. If you’re still on older versions like Kodi 21 Omega or earlier, Kelebek’s scripts will fail. Update your Kodi before you begin.

What is Kelebek and Why Do You Urgently Need It?

A common mistake is trying to install a movie addon without prepping the foundation first. Kelebek doesn’t play movies; it makes movies playable.

Just like Luar used to, Kelebek is a powerful dependency and script installer. Think of it as the maintenance crew for your media center:

• It installs the necessary engines (like AceStream) for watching live sports.
• It repairs the core Python modules that other addons rely on.
• It cleans out the digital junk (cache) that’s slowing down your device.

How to Install Kelebek on Kodi (Official 2026 Source)

To avoid modified or malware-infected versions, we are only going to use the Kodiadictos repo, which is the official home for this addon. Follow these steps to the letter to complete the installation from the ZIP file.

Step 1: Enable “Unknown Sources”

If you’ve reinstalled Kodi from scratch, this step is vital. If you already have it configured, you can skip to Step 2.

1. Go to the Gear icon (Settings) at the top of the main menu.
2. Select System.
3. Navigate down to the Add-ons tab and toggle the switch for Unknown sources.
4. Confirm the security warning by clicking Yes.

Step 2: Add the Official Source

Now, let’s connect your Kodi to the server where the official Kelebek repository is hosted.

1. Go back to the Settings menu (Gear icon).
2. Enter the File manager.
3. Double-click on Add source.
4. In the window that pops up, click where it says <None> and type this URL exactly (it’s case-sensitive):

   https://kodiadictos.github.io/fuente/

5. Click OK.
6. In the box below (“Enter a name for this media source”), type something easy to remember, like .Kodiadictos.
   • Pro Tip: Putting a period (.) at the beginning will force it to the top of your sources list.
7. Click OK.

Step 3: Install the Add-on from the .zip file

We’ve established the connection; now all that’s left is to install the addon from the zip.

1. Return to Kodi’s Main Menu.
2. Go to the Add-ons section.
3. Click the Open Box icon (Package Installer) in the top-left corner.
4. Select Install from zip file.
   • If you see a pop-up about manual updates, just click Yes.
5. Find the source we created earlier: .Kodiadictos.
6. Inside, you’ll see several files. Select script.kelebek.zip.

Wait a few seconds. You’ll see a notification in the top-right corner that says: “Kelebek Add-on installed”.

How to Use Kelebek: 3 Mandatory Steps to Revive Your Kodi

Now that Kelebek is installed, you’ll find it under Program add-ons, not Video add-ons. When you open it, you’ll see a menu full of categories. Don’t get overwhelmed—you only need to touch three things to bulletproof your Kodi setup.

1. The Holy Trinity of Sports (AceStream + Horus)

If you miss watching live sports, this is the most important section. Kelebek simplifies what used to be a major headache: installing the external P2P engine.

1. Inside Kelebek, go to the Deportes (Sports) category.
2. Find and check these two options (they will turn green or yellow):
   • Horus: This is the addon that manages sports links.
   • AceStream (Engine): This is the external app required to load the video buffer.
     • Note: If you’re on a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, Kelebek will download the APK and ask for permission to install it. Say yes to everything.
3. Click the Install button (usually at the bottom right or in the side menu).

⚠️ Important Warning: After installing AceStream, you must open the app once (outside of Kodi, from your TV/box’s main app menu) to accept permissions and configure storage. If you skip this, Horus will give you an error.

2. The ‘Resurrection’ Scripts & Dependencies

Ever tried to install an addon only to be hit with a “Dependency failed” error? That’s because the core dependencies for Kodi 22 Piers are missing. Kelebek has them all.

1. Go back to Kelebek’s main menu.
2. Enter the Scripts section (sometimes labeled Dependencias).
3. I highly recommend installing the “ResolveURL” and “URLResolver” modules. If you see a legacy package like “Luar,” it’s also a good idea to install it for compatibility.
4. These scripts are the “translators” that help Kodi understand links from video servers. Without them, many movie and TV show addons will fail to find sources.

3. Essential Maintenance & Cleanup

Kodi accumulates digital junk fast, especially thumbnail images and temporary installation files. Running a cleanup can often fix a Kodi log error caused by data corruption.

1. In Kelebek, look for the Limpieza (Cleaning) or Mantenimiento (Maintenance) option.
2. Run “Clear Cache” and “Clear Packages”.
3. Do this once a month to prevent your device from running out of memory and becoming sluggish.

PRO TIP: Dealing with ISP Blocking in 2026

So you’ve installed Kelebek, Horus, and AceStream, but the stream still buffers endlessly or fails to load during big games?

This isn’t Kelebek’s fault, nor is it your installation. In 2026, ISPs in certain regions (especially the UK and parts of Europe) are using aggressive dynamic DNS blocking during live sporting events.

To make sure your new setup works flawlessly, we strongly recommend one of these two additional steps:

1. Change Your DNS: In your device’s network settings, change the automatic DNS to Google’s (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare’s (1.1.1.1). This is often enough to bypass simple blocks.
2. Use a VPN: This is the only guaranteed solution today. A VPN hides your traffic, preventing your ISP from knowing you’re using AceStream and bypassing any and all blocks.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve just rebuilt the foundation of your Kodi setup. You have the master installer (Kelebek), the sports engine (AceStream), and a clean, optimized system ready for 2026.

But a Kodi setup without content is pretty boring. Now that the plumbing is fixed, it’s time to turn on the water. We recommend exploring our other guides to find the best working Kodi addons and start enjoying your fully restored media center.
