The first step is to download the APK file that you want to install. You can download it from any trusted source or website. Once downloaded, make sure to save it in a folder where you can easily locate it later.

Note: It is important to ensure that the APK file you are downloading is from a trusted source and has not been tampered with.

sudo apk add android-tools

This command will install all necessary Android tools including adb (Android Debug Bridge).

Step 4: Connect Your Device

Next, connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure that USB debugging mode is enabled on your device. You can enable USB debugging mode by going to Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging.

Step 5: Install The APK File

Now that everything is set up and ready, we can finally proceed with installing the APK file. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Open the terminal on your computer and navigate to the folder where you saved the APK file.
  • Type the following command to install the APK file:

adb install your_apk_file.apk

Once you run this command, the installation process will begin. You will see a progress bar indicating how much time is left for the installation to complete.

Note: If you encounter any errors during the installation process, make sure that your device is connected properly and that USB debugging mode is enabled.

Step 6: Verify The Installation

After the installation is complete, you can verify that it was successful by going to your device’s app drawer. You should see the app that you just installed listed there.
