Sideload / Install APK on Amazon Fire

Swipe down from the top of the screen and press Settings. Scroll down to the Personal section and press Security. Under Advanced, turn on Apps from Unknown Sources. You’ll see a warning about being responsible for all damage to your Fire that unknown source apps can do. This would be a good time to mention that while this is an easy process, you do it at your own risk. Press OK.

Use a Chrome extension to find the APKs you want to use. I used X-plore File Manager to install. I had to add that application as having security to install from above.

I uploaded the APK onto the shared drive and then installed with X-plore File Manager, by just clicking and choosing install.
