The standard way to sideload apps on a TV, with a built-in browser.

Article en anglais
Downloader is a small app with a URL bar and a file manager. It is how most people install APKs on an Android TV device without a computer.
Type a direct APK URL, download, then open it. The first install asks you to allow installs from Downloader; after that the flow is two taps.
Because it can fetch any URL, only use it with sources you trust. A launcher cannot protect you from a malicious APK you deliberately install.
Comment l’installer
- Install Downloader from Google Play on the TV.
- Open it and allow installs from this source when prompted.
- Enter the direct APK URL in the address bar.
- Download, then confirm the install dialog.
