How to install an APK on Android

QUICK ANSWER

Enable installs from unknown sources for your browser only, download the package from the publisher link, then turn the permission back off. The whole process takes about two minutes and never requires rooting your phone.

1

Allow installs from unknown sources

Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps. Grant it to your browser only, then turn it back off afterwards.

2

Download the APK from the publisher link

Use the button at the top of this page. Do not install a file sent over WhatsApp or Telegram — those are the most common malware carriers.

3

Open the file and install

Tap the downloaded file. Android will show the permission list before installing — read it.

4

Sign in with your account

The app does not create accounts. Register first, then log in with those details.

5

If it fails to install

Parse Error usually means an incomplete download. Code:3 usually means the build is older than your Android version. Re-download the current version.
