Sideloading apps
Sideloading is the process of transferring files between two local devices. In our context it refers to transferring files from a PC to the Phone, usually to install an APK file.
Installing Apps
This process will require a PC, a USB cable (that supports data transfer), and having ADB installed with USB Debugging enabled (if you do not then refer to: Setting Up ADB).
Download the App's APK file
Rename the APK file to something simple (e.g. “example.apk”)
Open a command line (on Windows and Mac “Terminal”)
Navigate to where the file downloaded to, which will likely be Downloads. You can do this usually by entering cd Downloads
Now plug in your phone (accept Fingerprint if prompted)
Now to install the app type adb install example.apk
