Installing add-ons on older versions can be more challenging due to compatibility issues and the lack of updates for repositories. This guide outlines the process for installing the Salts add-on, but it's crucial to understand the inherent risks involved.

Using unofficial add-ons can expose your system to security risks, including malware and copyright infringement. Always ensure you are accessing legal and licensed content.
