Here is how i used to install .apk File on my device after downloading it into my computer and then using the SD Card.

1. Download the .apk file into your computer. I will recommend downloading it to Desktop or/if any other location which in your easy access.
2. Now transfer that file to your SD Card using data cable and connecting the phone or using Card reader or any other mean to connect the card directly. Place the file in your easy access, so that you can reach it easily.

You can also download .apk File directly on your android device, but for this you need to have a WiFi or Data Connection. I will recommend having an active WiFi connection. If you are using a network data connection then make sure you have enough data allowance remaining or enough credit in your account.

This way of installing .apk File on your Android Device is easy and saves time as well.
