The .apk format, short for Android Package, is used by Android apps. When we install an app from the Play Store, it essentially downloads an apk file and installs it behind the scenes. But what if you have an apk file and want to install it manually? Installing an apk file is very simple and doesn't require root.
How to install:
Download the apk file.
Using a file manager, click on the apk file.
If asked, give the file manager permission to install apk files.
Click on install and wait.
Check your installed apps.

The Unknown sources option should be enabled whenever you need to Install the APK file. In other words, If you want to Install the Apps which are not available in the Play Store, then, this option should be turned on.
To do that, go to Settings, now choose Security, find the “Unknown Sources” option in that section. And turn it on to Install the APK file available on the below link.
