So, this is how to install apk on Chromebook without Google Play Store. Tap on the APP and select Package Installer (If Prompted).Open the newly-downloaded file manager and look for the APK file that you have just downloaded.

If your Chromebook has play store pre-installed download a separate file manager. Either way, you can use an alternate method ie setting up an ADB and installing the file manager. After downloading the apk file from the website, make sure to scan it with antivirus online or offline.Īnd here’s a catch, you will have to install a separate file manager as the built-in file manager won’t let you access the package installer that installs the app on an android device. Now you have to just download the APK file of any app you want to install on Chromebook from any of the third-party websites.
